that is because the configuration file cannot have permissions set to '777' as ANYONE can change your file, therefore phpMyAdmin won't run (because it is a very smart program, LOL)
the 'most correct' permissions setting for config.inc.php is 600, meaning only the 'owner' can read and write the file (this can trip you if you are not careful about ownership.
The method for making it 'right' is this syntax from phpMyAdmins devloper docs ->> # remove world read and write permissions (it leaves the current group and users settings intact)
as root -
- Code: Select all
chmod o-rw config.inc.php
