wrong permission on configuration file in phpMyAdmin

tootcsen · 06-15-2006, 06:16 AM

Can anyone give me some clues?

When I'm trying to open phpMyAdmin with firefox web browser, it shows error "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!". I have typed the "chmod o+w config/" and "chmod o+rw config/config.inc.php" in terminal but it still shows the above error.

How am I supposed to solve this problem? I have searched it with search engines but the search results seem not suit to my problem.

You should run:

Code:

chmod a-w config.inc.php

snce the file must not be world writable

change the permission of config.inc.php in phpmyadmin by chmod 755 config.inc.php
