I have uploaded wp-phpmyadmin to the wp folder on my site but there does not appear to be a means of opening it. I get the "oops link has been broken" comment
Should I address it as mysite/wp/wp-phpmyadmin?
This should be simple but I imagine I am doing something silly.
Would be grateful for your help.
wp-phpmyadmin is a WordPress plugin. You have to install it within WordPress to use it. move the folder from wherever you put it into the /wp-content/plugins/ folder. (Unless that is where you already put it).
Then go into the plugins option on the WP admin nav options. Activate the plugin. Then find the menu option to go to the plugin's page in the Tools or Settings section of the left Nav options in Admin
Thank you stvwlf, that solves that problem. The next one is that I have to reinstall (because I have lost the password Wordpress sent me) and it seems I managed to empty my database - more by luck than because it was obvious.
So I reinstalled and got a new password but when I log in I get multiple messages like:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /web2/mysite/website/wp2/wp-config.php:1) in /web2/mysite/website/wp2/wp-login.php on line 290
and five other similar messages going up to line 865. (Is there an easy way to count up the lines?)
I have no idea where to go from here. Your help appreciated.

did you search the forum or the codex for this?
http://wordpress.org/search/Cannot+modify+header+information+-+headers+already+sent+by+wp-config.php?forums=1
the first result states very clearly what the problem is.
this is also in the codex:

Thank you whooami. I could not find a fault in the config. Reloaded and then install could not find host. I am wasting too much time on this so may go for an automated installation or give up on wordpress.
Rgds.
