I suck. Reading manuals is not my thing. Reading Install.txt will do up until 50%. So, I installed a new version of PHPMyAdmin, decided to leave to old one for what it was and created a new config-file via the new wizard-like setup pages. That worked just fine. I could even save it. But I could not log in to MySQL, with or without password. Changing localhost to the ip-address and back because that did not work. So people, to save you all the trouble of trying, retrying and trying again. After creating the config-file via the setup-wizard, remember to COPY it to the main PHPMyAdmin directory. It’s in the documentation you know!
