title: phpmyadmin is not using auth_type in config.inc.php
body: <p>I'm trying to show the html login form when logging in to phpmyadmin, however it continues to show the login popup, even though I have made the necessary changes in my config file. My config.inc.php file is located in the phpmyadmin directory as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
   $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'secret';
   $i = 0;
   $i++;
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
   $cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
   $cfg['SaveDir'] = '';
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The install for phpmyadmin is located in /usr/share/phpmyadmin and I have created a symlink with a different name to this directory from /var/www. Does the symlink perhaps cause issues with the config file being loaded? Any other reason the auth_type = cookie is not actually working?</p>
