yet another phpMyAdmin problem

eldamar · 2008-02-11 14:23:08

Hi! this is my first try with Arch Linux and im trying to set up a webserver with apache, mysql and php.
everything works great, mysql works, apache works and php works (atleast phpinfo works)
but now im trying to install phpMyAdmin and i get this error:

Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

i dont know were the php logfile is or the apache log? please help a desperate newb...

All the logs can be found in /var/log/httpd. It should also contain PHP script errors, so you can see, what went wrong. Try to check, whether the session.so module is loaded (/etc/php/php.ini at the bottom of the file).

eldamar · 2008-02-11 15:11:26

allright, i couldent make annything out of my logfiles...
but it seems like the mysql module isnt loading proparly or something.
im trying to connect from another computer tho, might be a problem somewere? :S
the session.so is activated in php.ini

humm, i fixed the problem with mysql by adding "bind-address = 127.0.0.1" but phpMyAdmin still doesnt work.
i have some problem with the gd module too, wont work with jinzora.
im not using the AUR version of phpMyAdmin tho, that got installed in /srv/www/ wich is not were my webserver is.

I had a similar problem so edited PKGBUILD and changed

--enable-session=shared \

to

--enable-session=

Then I rebuilt the package with makepkg.

That solved session based problems.

(I may have tweaked some session based settings in php.ini.)

I hope that helps.

BTW, why is phpMyAdmin no longer a package?

Benedict_White · 2008-02-11 19:08:45

Oops.

The second code block should read:

--enable-session= \

eldamar · 2008-02-11 21:19:33

what excactly is PKGBUILD? and what will that do? :S

Benedict_White · 2008-02-11 22:37:15

if you do

pacman -S abs

and then

abs

you will get the entire cvs tree of Arch Linux build scripts. If you don't like the way a package is built you can build it yourself.

So then you would do the following:

cd /var/abs
mkdir local
mkdir local/php
cp extra/devel/php/* local/php/
cd local/php/
nano PKGBUILD

Go and edit the line with --enable-session=shared \ on it to remove the =shared and then type:

makepkg --asroot

You will then have made a package that you have customised to work how you want it to.
The type

pacman -U php-5.2.5-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz

(or whatever the new packages file name is)

Then if you restart apache sessions will work with phpMyAdmin

eldamar · 2008-02-12 15:31:30

i get allot of missing dependencies when i try to do makepkg --asroot
is there someway to make the gd module work with this too?

Benedict_White · 2008-02-13 09:44:11

That is to make php with the ability to use the modules. I would just pacman -S the whole list in one go. GD should work with php if it is installed. From the looks of your dependencies you already have it installed.

eldamar · 2008-02-13 14:52:16

allright, i installed all the packages but when i try to makepkg i get this error now:

-> bsdtar -x -f php-5.2.5.tar.bz2
bsdtar: Failed to set default locale

Holy crap, never do "makepkg --asroot". It's a terrible idea. Build packages as a user, for the love of god.

Benedict_White · 2008-02-14 13:34:04

eldamar, Hm. No idea. Mind you, you could try to check your locale settings.

Phrakture, why the issue with doing it as root?
