Years ago when I used phpMyAdmin, those lines were in the config file  
and you would modify them to suit. If those lines are no longer in the  
config file of today's phpMyAdmin then they have changed things.  
Consult the phpMyAdmin documentation, and when you find the answer,  
let us know, or edit the wiki page yourself to fix it.
