Fresh install then when i go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8/index.php from the Intranet tab (http://127.0.0.1:8080), i get 'Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!'

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

PHPMyadmin to show login screen

ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR

'Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!'

OTHER INFORMATION

No - straight forward 5 minute install.

on some forums i see some people suggested adding a setting in '/var/www/default/htdocs/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8' of ...

$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;

I tried to do this by sudo logging into my PHP container ..

sudo su -
cd /var/www/default/htdocs/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8
chmod 755 config.inc.php
vi config.inc.php

.... but all this directory is 'read only' .. so i couldn't test whether this works.

@richardcantwell thanks for the bug report.

Can you try to alter the file (from your host computer in the Devilbox git directory, while the Devilbox is not running): .devilbox/www/htdocs/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8/config.inc.php

[richardcantwell]

Wow BINGO!

docker-compose down
cd devilbox
vi .devilbox/www/htdocs/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8/config.inc.php
i
.... add line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;

[ESC] wq!
chmod 555 .devilbox/www/htdocs/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8/config.inc.php
docker-compose up -d httpd php mysql

... and it worked! I've just removed the '$cfg['Servers'][$i]['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;' and this made no difference - it's the 'chmod 555' that made the difference!

Thanks a million cytopia!

kk, cheers. I will add this and push the new permissions.

I just checked it on my machine. Nothing complains. Do you have a screenshot of yours under what section I can see the warning message.

Sorry I’ve just left the office - but the week was on http://127.0.0.1/vendor/phpmyadmin-4.8/index.php - literally fresh pull then navigated to intranet -> tools -> phpmyadmin - and the error was on that page

I am facing this issue in windows 10. Trying out devilbox for the first time and stuck on this.

Ok, It worked for me when I have added following line at the top of file:

$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;

It was not working when I have added the above line to the bottom.

File location: .devilbox\www\htdocs\vendor\phpmyadmin-4.8\config.inc.php

[cytopia]

Its fixed. Thanks for the info.

FYI: phpMyAdmin is now tested by CI against all PHP versions. The following PR was responsible for it:#441
