[Phpmyadmin-devel] suggestion on $cfgPmaAbsoluteUri

Hello:

I was having trouble connecting to phpMyAdmin after the login page. This occured when I was at my client's site. The config parameter $cfgPmaAbsoluteUri was to blame. I fixed the problem by using $REMOTE_ADDR in the config file for the parameter, like this:

$cfgPmaAbsoluteUri = 'http://' . $REMOTE_ADDR . '/pathTo/phpMyAdmin- 2.2.6-rc2/';

I suspect this is what most users want, and it would have saved me some time figuring this out if the above method was used. So, can we change the config parameter so that we only ask for the path and not the server address?

You could put a parameter such as $cfgPmaPath in the config file and then later set $cfgPmaAbsoluteUri by prepending $REMOTE_ADDR onto the path.
