Again? Please, you've already filed this 3 times, enough. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 140140 *** 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. Really, as noone else but you is noticing the 'problem', chances are that the problem is somewhere else than in the instructions itself... 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. 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 Many thanks for this. Your version (almost in its entirety) is in.

God damn jakub was such an asshat sometimes. Thanks Renat. |
