This implies that the following instructions are going to be related with how to do that, but they aren't. 2) It talks about copying /var/www/goliath.internal.dwavesys.com/htdocs/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php which does not exist in a fresh install (and it might not even exist in an old install), but it sounds like these instructions are for fresh installs only, as above in step 0 is says "If this is a new installation," and below after step 2 there is a break "==============" and then it says "If you are upgrading from an earlier version..." How to fix it: I will attach my suggested new version davidgrant@gmail.com 2007-03-07 01:43:00 0000 Created an attachment (id=112356) improved postinstall-en-2.8.0.txt jakub@gentoo.org 2007-03-07 01:43:44 0000 Again? Please, you've already filed this 3 times, enough. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 140140 *** davidgrant@gmail.com 2007-03-07 01:55:37 0000 I know but I keep noticing the problem every time I upgrade phpmyadmin. Renat's comment in Bug #140140: "as the comment says, the line you're referring to is meant for editing an_existing_ config.inc.php" is correct but I never read it closely enough at the time and forgot about that bug (until I upgraded to phpmyadmin again). The real problem with the postinstall text is that it is worded strangely. Or put another way, step 1 (in the original, I renamed it to step 2) is trying to do 3 things but it is not clear that those 3 things are really three things as the word "alternatively" is only used once. I have split this up into a), b), and c) and now it is much more clear. I would like the maintainer of phpmyadmin to have a look at this. I'm sorry for not resolving this earlier but I didn't realize because I only use the "default config file" option so I was a bit oblivious to the "existing configuration" and "web-based" options. jakub@gentoo.org 2007-03-07 01:59:06 0000 Really, as noone else but you is noticing the 'problem', chances are that the problem is somewhere else than in the instructions itself... davidgrant@gmail.com 2007-03-07 17:25:25 0000 Well I already explained why the original message is unclear so I think the onus is on someone else to explain why it is so perfectly clear and cannot use any improvement. gunnar_thielebein@gmx.net 2007-04-09 09:51:14 0000 Hi, I have problems getting phpmyadmin without pma user running and phpmyadmin guys answered that this is because of a broken config.default.php of gentoo install. For my understanding this file is also needed for the setup script to working correctly and *mustn't* be changed in anyway. Correct way is to only take a copy of the file (or creating new one) as config.inc.php. BTW: They already state a comment in phpmyadmin Wiki (http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/Quick_Install#Download) to avoid gentoo package rl03@gentoo.org 2007-05-26 23:26:48 0000 Many thanks for this. Your version (almost in its entirety) is in. rl03@gentoo.org 2007-05-26 23:27:12 0000 (In reply to comment #6) > Hi, > > I have problems getting phpmyadmin without pma user running and phpmyadmin guys > answered that this is because of a broken config.default.php of gentoo install. > > For my understanding this file is also needed for the setup script to working > correctly and *mustn't* be changed in anyway. > > Correct way is to only take a copy of the file (or creating new one) as > config.inc.php. > > BTW: They already state a comment in phpmyadmin Wiki > (http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/Quick_Install#Download) to avoid gentoo package > We no longer patch the config file. davidgrant@gmail.com 2007-05-30 18:39:16 0000 God damn jakub was such an asshat sometimes.
