Using phpmyadmin after 12 months without having any php or mysql active, getting

Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!

(user-style answer) Nothing, I swear!

(Factual answer): We had all this working when we played with dotproject, ending about a year ago. All we changed when we shelved dotproject was that we took apmysqlup.ncf out of the cluster volume load script. Ap2webup stayed in as we've internal website
s for documentation. I suppose nw6.5sp6 has been applied since so maybe somethig changed?

Could it be a certificate issue? Tried PKIDIAG?

Here are a few suggestions:

Sounds like they may not be using a default install of phpMyAdmin (ie they
have installed a non-shipping version of phpMyAdmin). I guess it is also
possible that the installation was corrupted somehow as well.

He could try going back and re-install mysql through the products overlay
CD. Another, unsupported option, would be to block all write rights to the
configuration file (this would at least be a test to see if that got it
working).

Okay, reinstalled mysql then copied the whole folder (and the phpmyadmin folder) to the cluster volume.

I can now get as far as a login screen. How do I set up (or what is) the default password? Tried modifying phpmyadmin\config.inc with no luck....

Sorry about this, my memory certainly isn't as retentive as it used to be....

I neve used PHPMYadmin ;) I assume you use the user/password you set
when you installed mysql?

Installing from the CD doesn't offer that choice (unless it inherits the NDS password I put in to authenticate before the load). I even flushed out the folder and installed into an empty one, just in case there was an old password sitting there.

Googling tells me it's root and blank in the standard situation, but that's not worked so far....

Yes, and it isn't that.....

Part of the problem is that the initial setup was to get phpproject going, and the tech who did that left the company and went back to south africa. He didn't record having changed the password from our 'standard setup password' and we haven't much of a v
ocabulary of Afrikaans swearwords <g>.

We never used phpproject or mysql in production and it isn't until we come to move Mantis from Win32 to Novell that we stumble upon the problem. <sigh>

This sort of thing only happens when the auditors are around

- new slogan - "a forgotten password means a secure system".

I'm running through the whole install process again, new install of mysql, php and perl, into empty folders, on the sys drive so that pathing isn't part of the problem. I'll start a new thread if I get further (or even solve it lol)
