Apache / MySQL / PHP / phpMyAdmin - Install Questions

I installed the following:

1. MySQL version 3.23.49
2. PHP Apache Module - version 4.1.1
3. phpMyAdmin - version version 2.2.4

I downloaded and followed the instructions at this www site to install items 1 and 2 above:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/

The install of items 1 and 2 were succesfull.

I downloaded item 3 above from this www site: http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/download.html

I followed the instructions at this www site to install item 3 above:
http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Problem:
When i use my www browser (Internet Explorer) to bring up phpMyAdmin i get a few vertical lines in the browser and thats all i see. This is the url i use in my browser:

http://127.0.0.1/~djohnson/phpMyAdmin/index.php

Questions:
1. When i edit "config.inc.php" for the host, do i use my computer's name (from Sharing in System Preferences) ?
2. When i edit "config.inc.php" for user and password, should i use root and root's password or should i use my user name and password or should i use the user called MySQL Database Server and its password ( this user is in my Users in System Preferences)?

Note: I used BBEdit 6.1 to do the edits ( set to use unix end of line character )

My Configuration:
Power Macintosh G3 Beige, 256 MB RAM, OS X 10.1.2, December Developer Tools

1) For host enter localhost
2) The user name and password would be the root MySQL user account.
