Well I still have not figured it out. I downloaded an update of 
phpMyAdmin (2.9.1-rc2), deleted the old version completely and tried 
again, following the instructions.
The config folder and the config.inc.php in it are owned by 
nobody:nobody. and scripts/setup.php cannot save....

The same config works just fine in the top directory level. The problem 
here is why cannot the setup script save properly?

Is there some interaction going on with httpd.conf of which I am unaware?
