phpMyAdmin database?

I downloaded phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.5 to try to resolve my issue.  I'm using
the setup script.  I gave it the IP of the database and the root
password.  When I save, it tells me:

You didn't set phpMyAdmin database, so you can not use all phpMyAdmin
features.

I see that it asks for "phpMyAdmin control user" and a password and a
database.  What is that?  This isn't addressed in the FAQ or anywhere in
the docs that I can see.

There ought to be a "test" button in that config.  I can connect to my
database from the command line, but I have no idea why phpMyAdmin isn't
working.  How do I get it to output something that will tell me why it's
unhappy?

In Documentation.html it's explained in the Installation section
(Linked-tables infrastructure).
