This loss of functionality occurs because the /var/lib/mysql directory is now owned by the user root, and the directory only has write permission for the root user. The mysql daemon runs as the user mysql, and thus can't write to this directory when it tries to create a database. This affects the ability to run the eZ publish setup since the setup uses the mysql commands. Is there a way around using mysql commands and solely use phpMyAdmin to configure ezPublish?

You will find most people use phpmyadmin anyway even if they have shell access... its alot better and Version 2.5 is very good...
