I never configured phpMyAdmin that way, I always simply edit one of the
sample config.inc.php files and copy it to the right location. But maybe
this doesn`t work anymore in the latest version? I may be running behind...

If you are on a LAN, just use a tool like MySQL-Front. Faster, as directly
accessing the database, and easier to use. Of course you will need direct
access to port 3306 of the machine running the MySQL server from the machine
from where you are trying to access, but within a LAN that should be no
problem.
And at least you will not depend on which webserver and scriptinglanguage
are running on the server.

I apologize for not being clearer. The application is up and running at work
and I cannot touch it. As a longterm project, which I expect to be several
months (at least), I was asked to convert the application so that anyone on the
web can access it. It is at home that I need to set up a complete server
programming environment to proceed with the application's conversion. Apache &
PHP is installed and running fine on the localhost. Now I wanted to add
phpMyAdmin.
