phpMyAdmin ignores 'config.inc.php'

Posted on July 22, 2014

Hi,

I have Ubuntu 14.04 running Nginx, MySQL, PHP5, Ajenti and Ajenti V. I also installed phpMyAdmin and I can access it via <server>/phpmyadmin. But phpMyAdmin seems to ignore the config.inc.php file.

I say that the config file is “ignored” because phpMyAdmin actually works but doesn’t load my preferences (and keeps asking about the blowfish_secrect passphrase, for example).

I tried these different approches: created the file from scratch, duplicated and renamed config.inc.sample.php and used the phpMyAdmin setup utility. The result is the same.

The file is present, the permissions seem to be OK (-rw-r--r-- 1 root root) but phpMyAdmin doesn’t want to use it. :)

Anybody else ever encountered that?
