phpMyAdmin 2.11.9 package for ISPConfig 2 released

Today phpMyAdmin 2.11.9 has been released. Based on this version, i've created a new version for ISPConfig 2.

For release notes, please have a look here.

The package can be downloaded here.

Installatation and/or update instructions can be found on that webpage as well.

Use the Update Manager within ISPConfig to install the new phpMyAdmin package.

 

Works great. Strongly recommended to always keep phpmyadmin updated on all systems due known to have exploits found in older versions.

 

Updated ISPconfig to 2.2.25 and phpmyadmin to 2.11.9
Phpmyadmin install went fine, but won't load after upgrade.

Problem solved after renaming current dir and reïnstalling.

 

If you removed the previous package indeed, but a blank screen remains, please do the following: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

After that try to login again and don't forget to refresh your browser.

 

Hi Hans

All versions prior 2.11.9.1 have a major security leak which makes it possible to execute any php and shell code.

Could you provide the new version for the community?

Thanks for the great work!

 

phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.1 package available for ISPConfig 2

Here it is.

Please read the readme file first for update instructions.

 

login screen

I was just wondering why the phpmyadmin in ispconfig does not uses the new login screen. This screen behaves much better than the old one and is a much more professional look.

thanks

 

I was not the person who created the phpMyAdmin package for the first time.
I start maintain it from version 2.6.x or so and in principle, I always kept the configuration file config.inc.php unchanged.

If you would like to use the new login screen, change the following within the file config.inc.php:

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';

into:

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

Keep in mind that you also need to set a password within the line, which says:
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '';

 

To get this working, the mcrypt extension is required for ispconfig. A very useful link should be read in this mention:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=142252
(explains how using mcrypt extension without the need to recompile php in the middle of the thread).

 

Thanks for your reply’s guys

If I follow your instructions above will I have to repeat them each time there is an update to phpmyadmin?

 

mcrypt for phpMyadmin will come with ISPConfig 2.2.26.
From that moment on, you don't have to worry about mcrypt anymore.

To install/update phpMyAdmin, i will mention the install/update instructions everytime a new version comes out.

 

Completed successfully

After I updated to ISPConfig 2.2.26 I followed the instructions by Hans.

Note you then need to restart for the changes to take effect.
