The error message "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers
already sent by ..." is displayed, what's the problem?

Edit your config.inc.php or .php3 file and ensure there is nothing (ie
no blank lines, no spaces, no characters...) neither before the <?php
tag at the beginning, neither after the ?> tag at the end.

BTW, i Googled that in about 30 seconds. I c/p'd your error and got 455 results.

i checked the config.inc.php file but i saw that
there are no blank lines, spaces and characters after and before the tag <?php ?>.😕

I dunno. Given the volume of search returns, (many of which were actual failed installations, D'OH!), and the fact that the config file is the only thing you change, i have to say that's the place to keep looking.

The current documentation says exactly the same thing.

Are you running locally or on remote server? Make sure not to edit with WordPad or something, and if you're uploading to server w/FTP, make sure it transfers the code in ASCII mode.

EDIT: I went and looked at some of those errors. It isn't at all exclusive to phpMyAdmin, it looks like a common problem with include files. Any extraneous information outside of the php tags is interpreted as a header. I think.
