Description Imre Péntek 2008-04-18 17:38:15 UTC

Hello, I was unable to find out where my config.inc.php should go. Maybe you should patch phpmyadmin to generate the config.inc.php downloaded file to state the proper directory to place it. Maybe you should also patch /usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/2.11.5.1/htdocs/config.inc.php to contain this info.
As I figured out webapp-config --list-installs command prints the exact path, so maybe this info should be included if this path is subject to change.

Thank you.


Reproducible: Always

Hm? I don't follow, sorry.

When using webapp-config to install the webapp, this is the info that will be displayed to you:

a) Create config.inc.php. You can use the web-based installer:

   mkdir ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config
   chown ${VHOST_SERVER_UID}:${VHOST_SERVER_UID} ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config

   then go to http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/scripts/setup.php

   once you've saved the configuration:

   cp ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config/config.inc.php ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config.inc.php
   rm -rf ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/config

The variables will be replaced with the correct paths for your installation. The commands given are precise and work for me. What else do you need?

Please reopen with detailed information about the additional information that should be added to the postinstall instructions.
