     I introduced a file config.inc.php under root directory ( phpmyadmin_dev/config.inc.php ) with the additional server configurations which needs to enable special features such as Mime type etc. I tried with placing the contents of phpmyadmin_dev/config.sample.inc.php as well as /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php (older version configure file) into new file. But after restarting the apache, any change doesn't appear while creating a new table structure. So if you can give any suggestions to overcome this problem, it will be a great help for me to do some improvements on this feature. All are well come to give your valuable suggestions.


Hi Chanaka,

On Ubuntu, depending on your installation type, the configuration 
files might be found in different places. If you copy/extract/pull
files into a folder, the phpmyadmin_dev/config.inc.php will have 
priority. But if you use apt-get install phpmyadmin, the settings 
declared in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php will be more important 
than those in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php, where all the
other files are located. Or at least that's the case for my multiple 
instances of phpMyAdmin ( ubuntu 11.10 ).

You did not mention trying it, so maybe you could add your pmadb,
controluser and additional settings in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
instead of phpmyadmin_dev/config.inc. I'm not sure if it will work for
you, but you can try. Hope it helps.
