I'm using webapp-config (1.50.16-r1) to install phpmyadmin as follows webapp-config -V -I -h localhost -d phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 2.11.1.2 And it seems to start OK, but fails on most files due "Invalid cross-device link" errors. Here's the beginning of the log: * All config file checks successfully passed * Do we have phpmyadmin-2.11.1.2 available? * Yes, we do * Install directory is: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin * Is there already a package installed in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin? * No, there isn't.

Do you have /var/www/ and /usr/share/ on different filesystems? If that's the case, I very much doubt it's a phpmyadmin issues or that previous versions worked fine for you.
Oh, sorry, I just realized I had moved the webapps directory earlier to a different filesystem and didn't realize the path was pointing that way. But since I'm here, the script is nice in the beginning and perhaps it could make a check for that and report exactly what it thinks is wrong in English. Come to think of it, isn't it supposed to default to symlinks when it can't hard-link?

Probably same problem here, but with drupal? I have webapps and /var/www/mywebsite on the same fs, same partition, but it comes up with with all these hardlinks errors. I am now installing apache on a different machine in the hope that I can get drupal going, but would appreciate if I could fix the old installation.

I don't know if it will be of any help, but I would say that I have /var and /usr in different partitions and still I was able to install mantisbt through webapp-config flawlessly. However I didn't use webapp-config directly, emerge called it for me, could be that the origin of the issue? Just my two cents.
Drupal-5.6 installed fine on a different machine. Unfortunately, the old box that had the original problem died on me (MoBo went to MoBo heaven) and I won't be able to troubleshoot it further, until/unless I get replacement MoBo. -- Regards, Mick
We need to see if this is a problem on < 1.50.16-r4
Is this a dup of bug #231482. Its different but maybe some check can be made if we are trying to hardlink across filesystems and drop to sym link even if hardlinking is chosen on the command line.
