Either it didn't get installed or you didn't set up the configuration file correctly.
Try editing config.inc.php and set the path to what it should be for where you installed phpMyAdmin. Also, make sure the files are even there--if not reinstall.

I tried installing phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 with the instructions given here on MacServ ers and got this error
"The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)."
What does this mean?

There is a new configuration option that should be set in config.inc.php. Look inside that file, and you should see the line where you set the Blowfish passphrase. As far as I can tell, you can set this passphrase to whatever you like, and phpMyAdmin will use it internally. You don't have to enter it anywhere else (e.g., during login, etc).
The phpMyAdmin install guide will be updated in the near future. For the moment, we're busy working on a complete overhaul of the MacServers back-end.

Thank you for your reply Jason.
I have the welcome screen. I am reading your instruction 10 and not sure how to proceed. The instructions say:
"Now we're going to create a MySQL control user, which offers better security since we won't have to log in as the root user for routine database maintenance. Click on "Add a new User" and enter a control username. Select the "Any Host" pop-up and switch to "Local" (localhost will appear in the text field). Type a password for the control user into both fields as indicated."
The problem is that the new screen doesn't match exactly. I am assuming that I should click on the select box to choose "mysql (6)" instead of "databases". Then I have choices:
columns_priv
db
func
host
tables_priv
user
I assume I choose "user". Doing this gives me a new table on the right hand of the screen and I am unsure how to proceed. I hope this is clear. I appreciate your help.

Who is Jason? 
From what you've described, it sounds like you're about to mess with your mysql table while logged in as root. Not a good idea.
The mysql table is where mysql stores its data and should not be manipulated directly unless you know what you are doing.
After logging into MySQL, select the Privileges link, then Add a New User. The rest of instructions should be the same.
