PhpMyAdmin "Unable to load or save configuration"

Question

I am trying to configure phpMyAdmin on macbook pro running on yosemite 10.10.2. I created the configuration folder in phpmyadmin and gave it the necessary permissions:

chmod o+wr ~/Sites/phpmyadmin/config

However, when I switch to "localhost / phpmyadmin / setup", I get an error message:

Cannot load or save configuration
Please create web server writable folder config in phpMyAdmin top level 
directory as described in documentation. Otherwise you will be only able to 
download or display it.

(I tried to attach the image, but I cannot because of my reputation points)

I tried to reset permissions, tried to delete and recreate the folder. I tried to restart the phpmyadmin mailbox, but nothing works.

Can someone kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how did I best solve this problem?

, PHPMyAdmin root root ? OSX, - /Library/WebServer/Documents?

I used this guide when I installed it, and it works great, although I did not use the Sites as my root. http://www.dingendoen.com/osx-installs-configuration-examples/install-apache-mysql-php-on-osx-yosemite/

For on-premises development, changing permissions are processed to install OSX Sierra:

sudo chown -R _www:_www ~/Sites/phpmyadmin
