Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed

I have been using LAMP on my system for a while now, i decided to change ownership of the lampp dir from root to my account, now i'm getting this control user problem that never existed before. I have tried changing ownership back to root , but same problem ....

here the relevant config file section...and i've followed a bunch of the similar questions i found...none worked for me:

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'daisy041093';
/* Server parameters */
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
/** * phpMyAdmin configuration storage settings.
*/
/* User used to manipulate with storage */
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlhost'] = '';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlport'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';

Edit ../phpmyadmin/config-db.php

Change the following lines as follows:

 $dbuser='pma'; $dbpass='<your pma user's password>';

From my more extensive post on this subject here.

Note, on Debian this file is here: /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php
