Talk:PhpMyAdmin

I have just installed mysql, and I've got

1. mysql -u root

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Thanks to the wiki i've done:

General MySQL Connectivity

Check /var/run/mysqld for mysqld.sock and /tmp for mysql.sock. If mysql.sock doesn't exist, create a softlink:

1. ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

Then restart the daemon:

1. /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart

But should the mysql package do this?

typo?

in the section that begins with;

Use for PHP 5.x:

AddHandler php5-script php

to

AddHandler php5-script .php

It's the same, see the official documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler

deny from all (.htaccess for phpmyadmin)

Commenting out 'deny from all' as the article states will allow everyone access. Wouldn't a safer way to do this be:

deny from all
allow from localhost
allow from 192.168.1.0/24

Or something to this extent? Axanon 06:54, 19 June 2011 (EDT)
