Thank you!
I got same error and Ralf Jung pointed me in the right direction.

apt-get install phpmyadmin lighttpd php5-cgi
lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

http://yourserver/phpmyadmin/
http://yourserver/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php

(default auth
user: admin
pass: *
^^^^^^^ yes, password is one asterisk)
check /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup to change the password.
