I would stop Apache using sudo service apache stop. Giving recursive 777 privileges is not recommended unless there is an absolute need.

Presuming that you issued that chmod command for the /etc/php5/apache2 directory, you can reset the permissions to the default. Here's the contents of the same directory on my system which is configured as a LAMP server:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 Apr  4  2012 conf.d -> ../conf.d

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67479 Apr  9  2013 php.ini

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68428 Jun 13  2012 php.ini.ucf-dist

You would need to chmod the php.ini and php.ini.ucf.dist files with

sudo chmod 644 filename

The error you're getting from phpMyAdmin is for it's own configuration file - config.inc.php found at the root level of your phpMyAdmin installation. Managing this file is explained in the phpMyAdmin Wiki here.

To edit the php.ini file you will need to invoke sudo when using your CLI text editor like vi or pico, such as sudo pico /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
