[Phpmyadmin-devel] config.inc.php (again)
by Marc Delisle 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, I would like to reopen the discussion about this issue. I know you're tired of it, but there are lots of problems for users. I noticed at least one distro that just copy our libraries/config.default.php into ../config.inc.php! Unfortunately, many users do not read the doc about installation, and even for some who did read it, there are still problems: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1471501&group_id=… Having to close all browser windows is another thing that is not evident for many. For some reasons, the setup script is not as popular as we hoped (probably due to the directory manipulations related to its use). My opinion is that we have to think about was it "normal" and expected for the configuration of OSS products. Is it too late to revert to our old way of keeping BC by compensating with code for missing options? If it's too late, what about having a config-dist.inc.php that would contain the minimum lines (one server section connecting to localhost with root and no password). People could copy it into config.inc.php and be more happy. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] [Fwd: mysql phpmyadmin problem]
by Sebastian Mendel 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: mysql phpmyadmin problem Datum: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 23:46:23 -0400 Von: Michael <mike(a)brenden.com> An: cybot_tm(a)users.sourceforge.net Hi there, As an offshoot of mysql/phpmyadmin bug #1436171 If permissions change away from mysql.mysql on any database directory under /var/lib/mysql (to, say, root.root), and phpmyadmin detects mysql version > 5.whatever (i.e., phpmyadmin tries to utilize information_schema), then phpmyadmin reports No database tables found, despite there obviously being, say, dozens of databases, and hundreds of tables. So the one permissions error on one database's directory screws up every database as far as phpmyadmin is concerned. Thought you should know. Best regards from outside washington, dc Michael

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Fixing Documentation Numbering
by Cyber Dog 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi All, In regard to bug #1446538: I did some work with the Documentation file from svn. Here's what I've found: First of all, as I imagine you have realized by now, the current CSS method of numbering is not well supported at all. Only the most recent versions of Opera and FireFox support the necessary CSS. Since this leaves out the vast majority who use IE, it isn't an ideal solution. Obviously we have multiple options for fixing this. In the spirit of keeping it dynamic, I put together a javascript that (should) number things the same (and be browser independent!). This took me awhile, so I apologize if the logic is crude; I'm sure it can be refined. Basically we make arrays of the DOM elements for all the H2/H3/H4 in the file. I did simple nested looping, and used the Y index of each element to determine the order they land in. The page is then re-written with the index numbers from the loops. So long story short, the looping technique is ugly and inefficient, but it's late and it works. If somebody wants to rewrite that part of the logic, I think it would be a decent replacement. One big question I have, however: Why are we bothering dynamically generating the numbering if the achor tags are all hand coded? Adding an entry would seem to break the anchors anyway. The Documentation.html is in the attached archive. Comments welcome. - Matt LaPlante

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.8.1 config bug?
by Garvin Hicking 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi! Is it a known bug of the 2.8.1 release that it doesn't load "config.inc.php" files? I had two cases of the installation (one was done by a coworker of mine independantly from me) and we in the end had the same problem: Our config.inc.php file was not used. It was readable and all, but the config.default.php always seems to take precedence. config.inc.php was put into the main s9y directory, the setup folder was deleted aftwards. Thus we had to modify the config.default.php file, but I'm sure this is not intended? ;-) Best regards, Garvin -- ++ Garvin Hicking | Web-Entwickler [PHP] | www.garv.in | ICQ 21392242 ++ Developer of | www.phpMyAdmin.net | www.s9y.org ++ Make me happy | http://wishes.garv.in
