Which domains have you set up when installing MKDoc?
I assume the following:
     http://www.poppy.stjohn.ac.th
     http://admin.poppy.stjohn.ac.th
     http://su.poppy.stjohn.ac.th
?

Then those 3 domains should point to the box running MKDoc either in 
your DNS or in your hosts file.

That's part of the very bad Perl 5.6.1 UTF-8 support we were talking 
about. There should be a contrib/ directory with a UTF8-Hack Perl module 
in it that you need to install.

Make sure that your three domains (for www, admin, su) are the same in 
the following locations:

1/ <path_to_your_mkdoc_dir>/conf/sites.conf
2/ <path_to_your_site>/httpd.conf
3/ host file or DNS. Prefereably DNS for anything else than playing on 
the local machine :)

Make sure you have installed the Perl UTF8::Hack module.

Let us know how it goes :)

BTW: What was that MySQL mistake of yours?

Cheers,
