Can't login to phpmyadmin, no error message sgown

Question

THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATED POST

I installed Phpmyadmin in my Ubuntu station, then I tried to connect but I can't , it doesn't show any error message, when I try differnent wrong user/pass, it shows error message, I followed both this

phpMyAdmin won't let me login - no error shown

and this

Cannot login to phpMyAdmin, no errors shown

But didn't help, I can connect to mysql no problem, and I use mySql for my localhost, so no other user. I edited php.ini :

session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/sessions"

and I changed the permissions / owner of that file :

#ls -l
>>drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data www-data /sessions

Every try of connection creates already a session that I can find in /var/lib/php/sessions, so I don't think it is problem of connection, in apache error.log I see nothing.

I think it is more helpful to explain why downvoted my question. I said already it is not a duplicated post, if you think it is then please let me know. — user2997418, Mar 14 '17 at 16:21
So does `root` have a password set on it yet? If not then leave the password field blank — RiggsFolly, Mar 14 '17 at 16:22
@RiggsFolly the root has a password. I tried empty and I got error — user2997418, Mar 14 '17 at 16:23
my user/password are correct, I can use them in command line. — user2997418, Mar 14 '17 at 16:43

Thanks to this post I knew that I need mcrypt library. so I did it with

sudo apt-get php5.6-mcrypt (depending on your php version),

this also installed few other packages with, may, were the reason

(libapache2-mod-php5.6 php5.6-cli php5.6-common php5.6-curl php5.6-json php5.6-mbstring php5.6-mysql php5.6-opcache php5.6-readline php5.6-xml)

So to run phpmyAdmin properly better to check those liraries.
