Any help is appreciated. Anyone know if there is a way to install phpmyadmin via yum? thanks in advance

EDIT: I did not install phpmyadmin via yum. I just tar the file and installed in my localhost directory.

There are rpms for phpMyadmin, so you can use yum to install it.

ok I was able to install phpmyadmin. Now, when I go into the setup page,

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup

there are few warnings displayed on the page.

Code:

Runtime Notice in ./libraries/common.inc.php#281
date_default_timezone_get() [function.date-default-timezone-get]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead

Backtrace

./libraries/common.inc.php#281: date_default_timezone_get()
./setup/lib/common.inc.php#18: require_once(./libraries/common.inc.php)
./setup/index.php#12: require(./setup/lib/common.inc.php)

Anyone know how i can fix these errors?
thanks in advance

You have to edit php.ini and change the line:

Quote:

;date.timezone =

to

Code:

date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

assuming that your timezone is indeed America/Chicago.
Or you can set the timezone (the TZ env. variable) using your distro's admin tools. Take a look here for help.

thank you! That worked like a charm. For those who are Linux beginners. Once you edit the php.ini file. You have to restart httpd (apache). Just to let everyone know.

thanks

this is why i dislike rpm's and deb files for the lamp stack
nobody ever reads the documentation
the best thing i can suggest it to BUILD them
apache
mysql
php
phpmyadmin
awstats
...
for the first 6 to 12 installs you do .Then use the prebuilt as a time saver ( not much of one )

Do you think installing through BUILD as compared to RPM is good idea?
I think installing through tar.gz throws sometimes gcc error which is even more cumbersome and diffficult to understand. Installing throuhg RPM anyway reflects the dependent package atleast.
Whatt you think?

to learn the "in's and out's" of the lamp stack yes build/install by hand .
Once you do , even the slightest change ,from the default settings .Things can get VERY complicated VERY fast .Even with a rpm/deb install you still need to know ' what and how' to edit
httpd.conf,my.ini,php.conf,config.inc.php( PhpMyAdmin)

installing by hand will TEACH one WHAT will need to be edited
and WHERE to install them ( personally i like EVERYTHING in
/opt/www ( it's own partition )
/opt/www/http
/opt/www/mysql
/opt/www/php
/opt/www/phpMyAdmin
/opt/www/AwStats

everything builds out of the box
