Topic: two different rpms for phpmyadmin

[Yuri Toomela]

Can anyone say what are the diferenses between

e-smith-phpmyadmin-0.2-3.noarch.rpm..rpm
and
dmc-mitel-phpmyadmin-2.2.3-1.noarch.rpm..rpm ?
they both should install phpmyadmin webinterfaces.

Unfortunately either didn't work for my 5.5 (updated from 5.12) sme box
dmc-.. allwayes sayd "access denied for user root@localhost( using password=yes)", e-smith-phpmyadmin.. just regular "The page cannot be found"...

[Rich Lafferty]

Offhand, I'd say that one is version 0.2 of phpmyadmin, and the other is
version 2.2.3. (I suspect the name changed because we encouraged
contributors to put their name/initials in the name of their contribution.)

I'm afraid I can't help much more than that, because I've never used
phpmyadmin.

Cheers,

The DMC is a newer version of phpmyadmin.  I just installed that version on a new 5.5 server without problems.  You can always go into the config file in phpmyadmin and setup the user ID and password.  Have a look for the file called "config.inc.php", in there you can setup the user ID and password.  It's a good idea to not run MYSQL as the same ID as root.

No, we encouraged contributors to put their name/initials in the *release* id of their contribution. Putting names/initials in the *name* of an RPM just causes confusion and difficultly in installing/upgrading software, as it appears to have done here.

Charlie, I can't agree with you more on this topic...  Contributor initials in the rpm name can be a MAJOR pain.

So in this "config.inc.php"   file they have used somekind of default password??
but anyway,
thnax G, that brings me out from my troubles.

thanx a lot.

No, config.inc.php is where you need to put your mysql root password.

Daft Question:

Are you trying to access via http or https because it will only accept secure connections.

How do I create a secure connection via HTTP to my server??

After I have installed the phpmyadmin rpm I cannot connect to either my "server-manager" or "phpmymanager".
While trying to connect to the server-manger I get "Proxy error".
While trying to connect to the phpmyadmin page I get "You are not authorized to view this page"

How can i unistall an rpm again??

I used https://  for secure connection as needed for all this kind of stuff.
After changing password in '/opt/administration/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php' this 'phpmyadmin' works fine for me. Its a great tool!

Yep thanks - the https phpmyadmin works for me too now.

But after installing the phpmyadmin rpm I cannot acces my server-manager at all, I get a message like this:

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /server-manager.

Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused
