In my previous question I was able to move the phpmyadmin page to a subdomain but i got 2 errors on the home page:
I was able to fix the first error by using the following command
chmod -R 777 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
But when I checkd /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php the secret was already set
Then it was a permission issue. You should NEVER chmod 777 anything.
Change the owner of the folder with chown -R and restore the original permissions that should be 640 for files and 750 for directories
In this way the error is still on the phpmyadmin page
drwxrwx— 3 root www-data 4.0K Aug 5 08:31 tmp
www-data group needs write access swell
Still not accessible
If you run phpmyadmin under a different user create a custom template for php so php can run under www-data
I don’t think i run phpmyadmin under a different user, how can I check that?
I’ve used the followind commands to see what user is running apache
ps aux | grep apache
Then i’ve change owership of the tmp folder to that user but the error doesn’t go away
As told it it not really supported I can’t help with it …
EDIT
I was able to fix this problem entirely on another server by creating the new config file as below, setting the blowfish_secret and adding the following line $cfg[‘TempDir’] = ‘/tmp/’;
Now I just need fix the permission error on the other server
OLD
Regarding the “blowfish_secret” i was able to fix the issue with the following command
cp /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
and pasting in the " $cfg[‘blowfish_secret’] " field the value in " /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php ".
Now I think I made thinks worse becouse I can’t access phpmyadmin anymore. When I try to access it I get the access denied error, any idea why it maight happen? ( I also played with permissions and I have the /usr/share/phpmyadmin folder as drwxrwx— as well as everything inside it )
