Download the latest zip file from phpMyAdmin and unpack it to your htdocs directory in Apache. As of version 2.8 phpMyAdmin comes with an installer, which probably is a great feature if you’re an advanced database administrator. I on the other hand liked the old way, where all you needed to do was updating/filling in the config file.
Fortunately this option is still available. Create a file called config.inc.php and save it to phpMyAdmin’s root directory. This file will override the settings in libraries/config.default.php, so you can simply take out the parts you actually need to change and place them in the newly created file. Follow this link to view an example of how I set up my config file, you may off course add/remove stuff that you need/don’t need...
That’s it! By filling in the users and passwords you should be up and running in a few minutes...
