2. Driver name.(What connector we have to install either phpmyadmin one or previous one as my phpmyadmin is upgraded)

Answer 1

You're not specifying the port properly for localhost. Is your port 8080 or 3306? Set your value parameter to this:

Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;Port=YOURPORTNUMBER;
Database=dbname;User=root;Password=;Option=3
