Installed a slew of updates with apt-get yesterday. One such update was for Mysql. After doing so, Phpymyadmin cannot connect whatsoever. I put in the correct root password, and I get an error. I use the same password via SSH and can connect. Apparently, the old Phpymyadmin that Debian Lenny offers (2.x) is incompatible. There's a new Phpmyadmin 3.x available that should work, but the Debian Lenny package is unstable. Any thoughts on getting it working? I thought about getting the tarball; but if I do, I have no clue how to or where to replace the Phpymyadmin deb files so that it will still load as http://server/phpmyadmin/. Thoughts?
Usually it's located in /usr/share/phpmyadmin. But you can remove the phpmyadmin symlink in your document root and create a directory called phpmyadmin and install phpMyAdmin in that directory.
Would your recommend installing Phpmyadmin from source tarballs? Or, should I wait until someone with Debian Lenny releases a stable package?
I use the Lenny standard phpMyAdmin release and it works fine. Version is 2.11.8.1. (MySQL is Version 5.0.51a-24+lenny4)
Yes, but a week ago some Mysql updates came out, did you install those? Every since I did that, I cannot access Phpmyadmin. Package: phpmyadmin State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 4:2.11.8.1-5+lenny4
How insane is that. Well, I'm all up-to-date. Okay as I was typing this, I decided to retry accessing. Yes, it loaded this time. Fascinating, nothing has been altered in configurations or passwords. Yet, it did not work for three days or so... Magic.
