PhpMyAdmin not working on localhost

Xampp version:1.7.7 (installed it on external hard drive), operating system: Windows 8, installed version 4.1.7 of phpMyAdmin and copied config.inc.php from my old version of phpmyadmin to the new phpmyadmin version (4.1.7)

When I type localhost/phpMyAdmin I get the error message:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 404 localhost 02/13/14 17:16:55 Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8

So I had a look in the xampp localhost welcome page http://pngwebdesign.co.uk/forum/localhost.jpg and in the security link PhpMyAdmin: Could not find the 'config.inc.php' comes up, how can this be recified

Looked in my local phpmyadmin folder and the config.inc.php file is there so I really don't understand why I can't log into localhost/phpMyAdmin

Any help appreciated

Once phpMyAdmin is installed point your browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin to start using it. You should be able to login using any users you've setup in MySQL. If no users have been setup, use admin with no password to login.

Restart your xampp server. Go to localhost/phpmyadmin again. Try to login with root as username and leave the passwords filed blank. If this doesn't works then login with the password you have entered.

All I had to do was load localhost:80/phpmyadmin and then the browser figured it out. After that, localhost/phpmyadmin worked.
