phpMyAdmin installation problem

I am new to linux and I never believed it could be this difficult to
install an application

my system: a fresh install of FC3 fully updated on a new intel desktop

I am installing phpMyAdmin and I have extracted the files to
/usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/

I have edited the config.inc.php according to the installation
instructions and I have turned off zlib compression as stated in the
troubleshooting FAQ. I even went to the phpMyAdmin help forum at
sourceforge and read an UNSOLVED thread with my exact same problem
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1242004&forum_id=72909

PROBLEM: logged in as root when I use my browser to look at
http://localhost/usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/index.php or
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin I see a BLANK page

logged in as another user I see a page of text output that I dont
understand but I did check that it is NOT simply the file that is
being echoed to the screen

here is a copy of the relevant my config.inc.php

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/';
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri_DisableWarning'] = FALSE;
$cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning']  = FALSE;
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '';
$i = 0;
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port']          = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']        = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type']  = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension']     = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress']      = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']   = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']   = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db']       = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose']       = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']         = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation']      = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info']    = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords']  = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages']     = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info']   = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history']       = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose_check'] = TRUE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']     = TRUE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order']    = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules']    = array();

$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
$cfg['Server']        = '';
unset($cfg['Servers'][0]);

I really would appreciate any help on this problem of mine as it is
holding me up and stopped all my plans for a website
