phpMyAdmin Error: Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

• Open phpMyAdmin in a browser and log in as root.
• Create a database called phpmyadmin
• Create a user called pma and set the “host” to the hostname or IP address of your web server (if the web server and MySQL are on the same box use localhost), make a note of the password, and grant the new user full control over the phpmyadmin database. It is recommended that this user does not have access to anything other than this database.
• Go to the phpMyAdmin installation directory, where you should find a sub-directory calledexamples.
• In examples you will find a file called create_tables.sql. Open it in a text editor.
• In phpMyAdmin, select the phpmyadmin database and click on the “SQL” tab.
• Copy/paste the entire text from create_tables.sql into the text box, and run the query.
• Open the config.inc.php file in the phpMyAdmin install directory, and add the following lines (or change the existing settings if they are already there):

$cfg['Servers'][1]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['controlpass'] = '<your password>';

$cfg['Servers'][1]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['recent'] = 'pma_recent';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma_table_uiprefs';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][1]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';

• Save and close the file.
• Log out of phpMyAdmin
• Log in again

Problem solved.
