phpmyadmin blowfish_secret

Hello,

• Debian 9.9
• ISPConfig Version: 3.1.14p2 single
• Nginx

Everything was fine and I installed multiple versions of PHP.
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...fig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/
I then had to solve a problem of access rights to Roundcube. There seems to be also a problem of access for phpMyadmin.
In \etc\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php there is::

Code:

// Load secret generated on postinst
if (check_file_access('/var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php')) {
    require('/var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php');
}

And in var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php there is:

Code:

<?php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'A secret passphrase';

When I open the database, I see a red message

What to do ?

 

I would suggest to uninstall it and follow debian 10 tutorial for manual installation of the latest phpmyadmin. It works flawlessly to me.

 

Thank you Ahrasis. I am under against under nginx.
The tutorial of Debian 10 explains the installation under Apache.

I asked the question here, because my search did not give anything in the case Nginx + Debian + Ispconfig, and that this is a bug induced by a tutorial dedicated to Ispconfig and a certain Till Brehm answered a lot in this tutorial.
1. After completing this tutorial to install multiple PHP version, Roundcube did not work anymore.
The RoundCube webmail is accessible on a Nginx ISPConfig web server through the vhost application. The PHP-FPM vhost applications runs under the user and ispapps group. To correct the Roundcube error, we must change the owner of some RoundCube files.

Code:

chown root:ispapps /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php
chmod 640 /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php
chown root:ispapps /etc/roundcube/config.inc.php
chmod 640 /etc/roundcube/config.inc.php
chown -R ispapps:adm /var/log/roundcube
chmod -R 750 /var/log/roundcube
chown -R ispapps:ispapps /var/lib/roundcube/temp
chmod -R 750 /var/lib/roundcube/temp

2. It can be seen here that the passphrase exists in var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php, but that it is not recognized.
I do not know what to do, and I imagine it must be very simple.

 

I don't know about roundcube in debian problem as I don't use it. My answer is only for phpmyadmin and in my experience things happened if one wants to do a manual upgrade overriding the existing package install using apt-get install phpmyadmin.

 

Thanks, Till.
So I put the secret phrase directly in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
But why the same thing in /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php does not work despite its call in config.inc.php

Code:

// Load secret generated on postinst
if (check_file_access('/var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php')) {
    require('/var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php');
}

What is missing ?

 

I write what worked for me.The problem were the permissions, I changed the permissions of the file blowfish_secret.inc.php in this way:
cd /var/lib/phpmyadmin
chmod 644 blowfish_secret.inc.php
and that is it!
