weird.
I have to say that there have been occasions installing PHPmyadmin that it
wouldn't accept any other user than root.
I'd hazard a guess that it's not looking at the right port or somesuch,
have you tried a different setting in config.inc.php here:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname or
IP address
have tried your IP address, given that you have other stuff running as
localhost?
why not run a port scan on your machine and check where everything is
actually listening.
try:
http://www.bluebitter.de/english.htm for a quick and free scanner (Blues
port scan)
then we'll know exactly where mysql is and you coan config phpmyadmin with
some degree of certainty.
