[Phpmyadmin-devel] PMA not Logging in on IIS4 (Bug?)
by Matthias Steinböck 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello there! I'm totally new to this list. I don't know if I found a bug or not, so here is the description: NT4-Server IIS 4.0 PHP 4.3.11 PMA 2.6.2 (current stable) I configured PMA correctly (cookie-authentication) but logging in does not work. no error-message is shown. After spending some time on the PMA-internals i found a solution: i found out that the lifetime of "pma_cookie_password-[servernumber]"-cookie is set to 0 but this did not work with the server. so i changed this one to null. libraries/auth/cookie.auth.lib.php - line 560 method PMA_auth_set_user and everything worked. HTH? ma

[Phpmyadmin-devel] ready for 2.6.2-rc1 ?
by Marc Delisle 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Hi, I think we can go from 2.6.2-beta1 to 2.6.2-rc1 today. Does someone need branching now to start on 2.6.3 before the final 2.6.2? I would prefer not, since it means double work for committing last-minute fixes. Marc
