Basically all the guides on this say the same thing. "Edit the config.inc.php file." This isn't working for me. I've even removed the file completely because editing it doesn't have any effect. And phpMyaAdmin loads fine without the file. So, I assume I've got something else going on that's preventing this config from being loaded.
Where do I go from here? Could it be a problem with my phpMyAdmin install? It is working besides this. For reference, this is on a fresh Debian web server with the LaMp stack installed.
