Xammp 8.2.0 phpMyAdmin will not start

I just installed XAMPP 8.2.0 fresh. No previous installation, but phpMyAdmin is a blank screen although PHPinfo works and so do all the other functions that I have tested so far.

I assume the question is why is the phpMyAdmin screen blank.

PHPInfo just requires Apache to be running.

phpMyAdmin is the web admin interface for MariaDB, and requires both Apache and MySQL to be running. On the XAMPP Control Panel, are both components shown as running?

On my system if I try accessing phpMyAdmin without MySQL running, I get a number of errors on the page related to phpMyAdmin and a page tab titled "Access Denied," rather than a blank page.

Have you looked at the logs for Apache and MySQL for any clues?

No log errors. Both were running. I resolved the problem by going to phpMyAdmin.net and installing their 5.2.1 release. Then it worked. I even tried to run the XAMPP installed index.php for phpMyAdmin in debug but I noticed no errors. It just ended. It did put out html. Thanks for the attention.
