Help...XAMPP phpMyAdmin isn't working on my Linux (Mint)
Hi all, My XAMPP phpMyAdmin isn't working on Linux (Mint). The warning I get is "Wrong permissions on config file shouldn't be world writable". So I revoked the write permissions for the user groups and others for the config file (my.cnf) but its still not working. Any help on this will be appreciated. *allay*
Hi Allan, Try changing the permissions on /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf and /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php. I think the file in question is the second one. Remove the write permissions. On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 7:24 PM, Allan <allayy@gmail.com> wrote:

my.cnf should be owned by root and have permission setting of 755 same applies for all other config files in your xampp/lampp installation You can avoid this problem by unarchiving your xampp download in a way that preserves permission settings and all. I usually do it by opening it in ark then dragging the folder to /opt, as opposed to the extract here option If its a fresh xampp install it might be easier for you to backup your htdocs folder, delete the installation and reinstall (unarchive) as mentioned above
