Default phpMyAdmin config error

phpMyAdmin sends $strConfigFileError when I load the phpMyAdmin root
index file and when I load the config.inc.php file directly with the
link, I get a blank page.

Which way do I have to investigate further ?

Loading config.inc.php will give you a blank page - it's all PHP and
doesn't have any statements which output data.

But this is how it should be. Allowing the source code to be displayed
would be a HUGE security risk - it contains database userid's/passwords,
etc.

You need to look at the file with an editor. If your host's control
panel has an editor, you can look at it that way. Or if you have telnet
or SSH access you can use one of the host editors (i.e. vi).
