I load up https://myhost/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php in my browser and none of the buttons do anything except create the config.inc.php file. After the file is created nothing else has any apparent effect, and doesn't change the mod time on config.inc.php. If I remove config.inc.php, pushing a button re-creates it.

https://myhost/phpmyadmin comes up as expected, but of course complains that it can't access the database and offers a link to the setup script.

All files are owner:group as apache:apache . chmod 777 doesn't help.

seems that your session.save_path in php.ini points to a wrong place
or
session.cookie_secure is On

if you try pma 2.11 you might get: "Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly."
