Dear All,
I've just installed Mysql5, Apache 1.3.34, Php5 and phpmyadmin4:2.7.0. I've had
experience of using these together on Sarge and I've got Apache running okay
and I've set up a root user for mysql and filled out /root/.my.cnf.
When I got to phpmyadmin, I noticed that the configuration procedure had been
slightly altered [security reasons?] so that
/var/www/pahpmyadmin/config.inc.php should no longer be edited but instead
accepts defaults and included php files from /etc/phpmyadmin. So far so clear.
Towards the top of /var/www/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php the following line occurs:
"// Load secret generated on postinst
include('/etc/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php');"
sure enough it's there all ready to be loaded and the line:
"if (!isset($cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'])) {
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';"
further down seems to be setting the default to cookie; but, when I try to log
in I get the phpmyadmin front screen but nowhere to login and the error message:
"The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)."
I've tried uncommenting the 'auth_type' line in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
to make the choice of 'cookie' explicit but to no effect.
Has anyone successfully jumped this hurdle and can tell me how it's done?
Thanks,
Nigel
