MySQL on XServe

A server admin just bailed as we were about to set up MySQL on our XServe machine.  We have the latest OS edition, but I have no idea how to set it up...add databases, tables, etc.  I know enough MySQL code to do this with command line, but don't even know how to get to command line on the XServe to be honest.  I'm a developer, not a server admin, so I need some basic help here.  Thanks!

Oh, and in case it helps, I'm using Mac OSX from my house to access the XServe through a little application called Server Admin.

MySQL is already there. Just go to Applications/Server/MySQL Manager to access it.

The command line is accessed via a program called Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)

I do see that, but using Terminal, is there a way I could install a service to make life easier?  Such as installing phpMyAdmin on the server?  How would I go about doing that?  Sorry for my ignorance.

Perhaps this will help in setting up phpmyadmin on OS X
I believe the current OS X server comes with Apache but I'm not sure about the PHP.  I have gotten phpmyadmin working on an older version without too much trouble.
