Hi,

Don't bother with the 3.3.2 release of phpMyAdmin. As a developer it
is more convenient to use the git repository and the different
branches [0]. Besides, that version is far too old, current stable is
3.4.10.1.

Putting the config.inc.php in the phpmyadmin root dir should work. By
default it works even without (if you have local MySQL server
running), but for more advanced settings you need one, of course.
Maybe you can try a setting in your config file that's immediatly
visible, like defining a second database server (can be a dummy one).
BTW : Restarting apache is not necessary to use a new config setting,
refreshing or loading a new page is sufficient because the configfile
is read on every page load.

Did you have a look at the Transformations section of the documentation [1]?

I hope this helps.
