You should have some FATAL or ERROR entries about your attempts to
connect. That means phpPgAdmin doesn't even reach PostgreSQL.

That means that you did set a password to user postgres ? did you try to
login with the following commands using your own system user (not postgres):
psql postgres postgres
psql -h 127.0.0.1 postgres myuser
first one use unix socket, second one inet.
