Bug 41405 – phpmyadmin should depend on virtual/php instead of mod_php

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 76623
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-02-12 11:25:58 UTC]

I'm using php-cgi for my webserver and phpmyadmin works fine with it. Since php-cgi provides virtual/php we should change phpmyadmin to depend on it instead of mod_php.

any status?

TODO: we actually need a new virtual or another fix for this.

virtual/php is for the php extensions, and since dev-php/php provides virtual/php (and is the default for it), it would NOT be suitable to use virtual/php.

Possibly virtual/httpd-php?

Hm, that's not easy. I used dev-php/php in apache until php-cgi came out, so it is possible to run phpmyadmin with that.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2004-03-23 10:33:58 UTC]

lanius: i'd strongly advise against doing that, since php-cgi runs some security checks that the cli version doesn't.

I just said that it is possible ;) Although i don't like the idea of a new virtual, i can't find a better solution.

Let's go with Robin's idea for the new virtual/httpd-php.

Best regards,

I have the same problem, but using dev-php/php.
