[Phpmyadmin-devel] Minimal default config?
by Michal Čihař 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hi all I know we stopped shipping default config file because it leads to unability to change effectively defaults. However some kind of default config is useful when you want to configure manually for whatever reason. So what about shipping some minimal default config file (as /config.default.inc.php) only with commonly used settings? I'd suggest just one server section + blowfish secret. This would hopefully prevent users blindly copying libraries/config.defaults.php. Comments? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.8.2.3 breaks scripts/setup.php
by Marc Delisle 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi Michal, Juergen reported that in 2.8.2.3, setup script does not work and I confirm (on systems with register_globals set to Off). At the beginning we now have $PMA_Config_Setup = new PMA_Config(); and later we do if ( $GLOBALS['PMA_Config']->get( 'PMA_PHP_INT_VERSION' ) < 40100) { which is a line (1836) that fails. But sometimes this script refers to $PMA_Config_Setup->get('PMA_VERSION') What is the reason for $GLOBALS['PMA_Config'] ? Marc

Hi, Please comment on this patch which fixes (at least on my server) the problem of going from the main PMA script to scripts/setup.php and back.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Pair Networks and phpMyAdmin
by Marc Delisle 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi, see how Pair asks users to install and configure phpMyAdmin: http://www.pair.com/support/knowledge_base/authoring_development/tools_of_t… - they ask users to download config.default.php, modify it, then upload as config.inc.php - they ask users to run it thru CGI and a PHP CGI wrapper for "proper security", probably to avoid the stealing of MySQL credentials. - no mention of auth_type='cookie'
