phpMyAdmin fails to start with a misleading error message due to a disabled ini_set function on the server (although sessions are working properly):
"Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly."
Reasons are several ini_set(...) calls in libraries/session.inc.php throwing some
"Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in ...."
which are misinterpreted as errors induced by "session_start()". Replacing all "ini_set" with "@ini_set" (as already done in several other files) fixes the issue.

Fixed in subversion, thanks for reporting.
