phpmyadmin blowfish error
 

Hi,

after setting up a vps some days ago i tried to move some sites there today. After clicking the phpmyadmin link within isp manager i get an error: phpmyadmin tells me to set the blowfish secret in the config.

After some research i found out everything should be okay. The config in /usr/share/phpmyadmin contains an include to /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_scret.conf (or something like that) which itself contains the secret generated by the installer.

Everything looks like it looks on other (working) isp manager installs.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem there?

Thanks,
Frank

It seems that openbase_dir restriction works and deny to access this configuration file.

shouldn't there be an error then saying something about that open_basedir restriction?

where's the open_basedir configured when using FastCGI php5? I will check that.

PhpMyAdmin uses mod_php.
Look for open_basedir in your apache configuraton, localted in /etc/apache2 or /etc/httpd/ or /usr/local/etc/apache (depend of you OS).

thanks - it's been in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf (debian lenny).

I've added /var/lib/phpmyadmin to the basedir and now it works.
