[gentoo-user] OT: phpmyadmin

[Ernie Schroder <schroder@ntplx.net>]

I am just starting to play with php and mysql. I've got mysql working and can 
log into root accounts using a password. php scripts work on 
http://localhost. For example, http://localhost/php/index.php in a browser 
shows a whole lot of info re php, mysql and apache2. However, I can't seem to 
get phpmyadmin working.
Going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin, gives me a window asking for username 
and password. If I insert my mysql username (root) and root's mysql password, 
I just get the same box with no error. I've tried adding a small 
config.inc.php file to /var/www/localhost/htdocs that is configured like so"

<?php
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'MySQL.localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; 
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; 
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password'; 
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '1234'; 
?> 
I restarted mysql and apache2 and still no joy
Obviously, I'm missing something, but I can't find anything after many hours 
of searching that points me in the right direction. HELP ;>)
