When you install phpmyadmin, it says:

=================================================================
POST-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create config.inc.php. You can use the web-based installer:
   http://localhost//phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php

   Alternatively, use the default config file in libraries/config.default.php:

     cp /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/libraries/config.default.php /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

===============

When running http://localhost/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php you cannot save it under "Configuration", because phpmyadmin/config is not writeable for the apache user. To get it working, postinstall needs to do:
mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/config/
chmod o+rw /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/config/
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/config/
