[SOLVED]Trouble with phpmyadmin

Has anyone had this problem, it has happened to me before but I couldn't figure it out.

I'm running a server on IIS, which has MySQL and PHP all set up, and I installed phpmyadmin just the other week. It worked fine to start with and was running perfectly fine on the localhost, I then tried it via my web address rather than the localhost to see if that worked and it did, again perfectly fine.

But just this week I've tried to use it via the localhost again and it doesn't like it one bit, the pages don't load up properly (images don't load up at all) and when I'm trying to select a database from the drop down list it comes up with a 404 error and 'The page cannot be found'.

Tried looking for a solution but can't find one, and I haven't changed any of the configs for PHP or MySQL.
Has anyone encountered this problem with phpmyadmin before?

Mine sometimes requires a page refresh upon initially opening it since it shows "Done" in the status bar but actually is a blank white page.

Have you tried clearing your cache / history and having another go?

I've actually discovered what the problem is, it's to do with the PmaAbsoluteUri property within the phpmyadmin config file. It didn't like the fact that it was set to the url of the phpmyadmin folder, once I deleted that setting it was fine.

Is there a way to set it so that it allows both local and remote access?

It's only going to get frustrating when I have to keep changing it simply because I don't have a network set up, I just merely swap my computers around and use the same hardware, becuase I'm only using the server for testing only for a college project website.
