Error writing /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php: Permission denied

You are trying to upload /save in /etc/phpmyadmin, while this directory have some permissions that disable user from writing on it, so you have to choose one of many scenarios to solve that:

• Change the dir to some dir in your home
• change permission of that dir using chmod. Read this for more info
• change ownership of that dir

Personally I prefer to choose a directory in home to upload/save in unless you want to use this directory system-wide.
