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

I encountered a problem when I am trying to access my phpmyadmin… the error came up:
Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!

What config file? Is it for PhpMyadmin itself? Often when installing programs manually, config files are installed with loose permissions making configuration easy. Usually the instructions tell you to chmod the files as soon as config is complete. Some even have you move the file.

/var/www/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

I guess you /var/www is 777.
You should do a chmod 755.

it works now .....10000 thanks

This should have been mentioned in the phpmyadmin documentation. Please either let them know so they can update it, or kick yourself for not reading it.

Anyway In ubuntu 10.04(Lucid lynx) I didnt found any /var/www directory.


Instead in your lampp installation directory, In my case:

/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/mysql.php

I found the line mysql_connect("localhost");

edit that line, add the username,password: mysql_connect("localhost"."mysql_username","passwo rd");

and then chmod the file to 0755.

That works for me
