problem with Automated ISPConfig 3 Installation

just realized that PHPMyAdmin did not install correctly my Debian 11 fresh install.

the files exist in the directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php" but not this file "
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php"

I have to admit, during installation, I did not use su -, but it does not matter because I was logged in as root user

What do I have to do now? run update.php or run the automated installer again?

I do not know what else has not been installed.

 

I would run automated installer again correctly in this round.

 

I was already logged in as root user with a fresh Debian 11 install
there must be something wrong with the install script located here https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

 

I used this exact example

wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --use-nginx --use-ftp-ports=40110-40210 --unattended-upgrades

 

[ERROR] The server already has ISPConfig installed. Aborting.

 

also, in the administrator, sites, databases, the link to access PHPMyAdmin is :8080/PHPMyAdmin instead it should be :8081/PHPMyAdmin

 

PHPMyAdmin URL: /phpmyadmin

it was always like that,

 

this is weird because these fields are set in the file /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php


The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).
The $cfg['TempDir'] (/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/) is not accessible. phpMyAdmin is not able to cache templates and will be slow because of this.

 

Hi Brody,
Did you do a fresh install? and did that fix the problem for you? because I have exactly the same problem.

 

I've done 2 fresh installs now and have the same error twice.

Code:

The $cfg['TempDir'] (/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp) is not accessible. phpMyAdmin is not able to cache templates and will be slow because of this.

The permissions on that directory are www-data:www-data is the user for ispconfig 'ispaps'?
This goes away when we chmod -R 757 /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp

along with this we get also get the following error whenever clicking on a table in phpmyadmin

Code:

Notice in ./libraries/classes/Display/Results.php#1224
Trying to access array offset on value of type bool

It doesn't matter what table... any and all.

Looks like it's an issue with php7.4 and this version of phpmyadmin. Though, phpmyadmin does say it's compatible UPTO 7.4.
Actually, php7.4 is generating this error for a lot of mysql frontends.

The answer was merely updating phpmyadmin. I used Th0m Perfect upgrade tool for phpmyadmin
https://forum.howtoforge.com/thread...automatically-how-to-update-phpmyadmin.88495/

So simple to upgrade using his tool And now no more errors.

So I guess for debian 11 auto installer which uses php7.4 as it's base php, we need to set a minimum phpmyadmin >= 5.1. Th0m's upgrade tool automatically set mine to 5.2. and it all now works as expected

Thanks Th0m

 

I tried re-running the update script to correct the permissions problem on the /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp folder to remove the error message "The $cfg['TempDir'] (/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/) is not accessible." However the permissions were not corrected since the version was already the latest.

Then looking at your git commit I see the permissions need to be 0770. Executing the below command fixed the problem.

Code:

cd /var/lib/phpmyadmin
chmod -R 770 tmp

Thanks.

 

This worked for me:
In
/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
add

Code:

$cfg['TempDir'] = '/tmp';
