How to install phpMyAdmin?

[xprotect]

I deleted old v of phpMyAdmin, i unpack newest and I have this error:

Error
(..)
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

But phpMyAdmin should ask for user / pass to db :/ :[

Did you also recreate the symbolic link 'phpMyAdmin' in /var/www/html to point to the new version you installed?

Did you also copy the file config.inc.php from the old folder to the new folder before you deleted the old version? Check the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] entry in config.inc.php. The default phpMyAdmin authentication method is config, but if you want the user to have to enter a username/password it should be set to http.

I think the key as that (using password: NO) means your new copy of phpMyAdmin isn't asking for a password. It may be a setup or configuration option in phpMyAdmin.

It is. That's the 'auth_type' option I mentioned
