When you try to access phpmyadmin with link http://localhost/phpmyadmin, if you get this error “The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase(blowfish_secret).” message on browsing window.

Solution : Go in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php file and find first occurrence of 'blowfish_secret', we will get a default line:

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ' ';

Change it with $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'test'; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */
