phpMyAdmin CSS/theme not displayed

Sean — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 02:27:32 +0000

This little bug is a pain, but luckily only shows up on certain configs…

So far, it seems to be an issue that only surfaces with Apache2.0 and PHP5, on Windows.. and is caused by the chdir(..) call - the main one being phpmyadmin.css.php. Change the “..” to your root directory, and all should be solved.

BTW - it has nothing to do with ./ syntax being used in phpMyAdmin.

Apache MSI installer

if the installer just bails on the initial screen, make sure that the computer has a domain set up in the networking dialog. This is used to auto-configure the install of Apache, and looks like there is no detection other than failure during the installation process.

php5 on FreeBSD 6.1

Sean — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:54:43 +0000

After downloading the 6.1 version php5 port config files you have to do “make config” and select the apache module. The “make install” will automatically make the correct changes to your httpd-config file for serving up php pages correctly. php5-extensions is not normally needed.
