I am using the instructions at LAMP setup to configure a localhost. Toward the end of that file, there are instructions for configuring phpMyAdmin. The /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php in the version I have is somewhat different from those in the instructions. Here is the code from what I have:
Should I use the default values suggested in the comments or the ones in the instructions?
What is the best practice for naming the controlhost and controluser?
