PhpMyAdmin “Wrong permissions on configuration fil

问题:

I get this error when I try to access localhost/phpmyadmin:

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

I have already chmoded every file to 555 from 777. What should I do next? I run Ubuntu 11.04.

回答1:

try this it will work

sudo chmod 755 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

thanks

回答2:

try

sudo chmod 755 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

this command fixed the issue having on my ubuntu 14.04.

回答3:

This is because of wrong permission of phpMyAdmin directory and the file config.inc.php

On *nix like OS set the permission of the directory and the file as follows

chmod -R 755 /path/to/phpMyAdmin
chmod 644 /path/to/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

If like me you run a Linux Virtual Machine which mount a Windows folder where phpMyAdmin sources are located, edit config.inc.php and add this line

$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;

回答4:

This worked for me: $ pkexec chmod 755 -R /etc/phpmyadmin

回答5:

You should not be making them 777 (which is writeable by everyone). Try 644 instead, which means user has read and write and group and others can only read.

回答6:

I just solved this problem myself, and this question/answer pair was not helpful to me in particular, so I will add what solved it for me in my specific case.

For starters, I have just began to use a repository so I "chmod 777 -R"'ed my entire /opt/lampp directory to make sure that permissions were not an issue for the pushing of the repository. Then I got two errors, but I think I only saw one of them and the next one showed up after fixing the first one it. I suppose one error was upstaging the other.

The first one was ./lampp/etc/my.cnf A chmod 700 on that file fixed it in my case although, 755 seems to be the better choice that I found in my research.

One file down, one more to go. The other file, which is the one causing the specific error message in this question is ./lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php.

Solution: "$ chmod 755 -R /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"

For Mac OS users:

Find the file named config.inc.php, usually located in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

(this is the filepath on my Mac)

Then click the right mouse click -> Click on Get Info, at the bottom of the box you will find permissions-> click on the Lock icon (bottom right corner) -> Put your System Admin Password -> -> where it says everyone, modify this permission to READ ONLY -> click back on the Lock icon and try to open http://localhost/phpMyadmin

Hope this helps! ;)

回答8:

all you need is to

1. open terminal type

   opt/lampp/lampp start

to start it and then

2. sudo chmod 755 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

then visit in your browser

localhost/phpmyadmin

it will work fine.

I got the same problem as you. I fixed this problem by following this post :D

But I didn't change the permission from 777 to 755 :O

回答10:

Just in case, someone out there having same issue but changing file permission doesn't solve the issue, add this line to your config.inc.php file

<?php
// other config goes here . . . 
$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;

And you're good to go.

In my case, I'm using windows 10 WSL with phpmyadmin installed on D: drive. There's no way to (for now) change file permission on local disk through WSL unless your installation directory is inside WSL filesystem it-self. There's updates according to this issue, but still on insider build.

Cheers.

回答11:

This error occured because phpmyadmin directory has all permissions (777). you can resolved this problem by executing the following command.

sudo chmod 755 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

回答12:

Do the following in your terminal

sudo chmod 755 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

After this you have to restart your server

回答13:

try if install lampp

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/*
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin

or if install phpmyadmin

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /etc/phpmyadmin/*
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /etc/phpmyadmin

回答14:

For Mac sudo chmod 755 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php Worked for me

回答15:

I run my system on top of a XAMPP instalation on a OS X.

A few days ago I faced the same problem. I was getting a lot of permission problems when installing and managing CMS test platforms, so I decided to set the entire htdocs subtree to a+rwX permissions, and got the same error.

Although my decision to set the entire subtree to those permissions is generally a mistake, that I made knowingly because this system is only accessable by localhost and otherwise unreachable, the only file that needs permission changing to solve this issue is config.inc.php, and you can leave the rest with the permissions you think you need.

The problem is fixed with:
chmod 644 config.inc.php, or sudo chmod 644 config.inc.php, depending on the system. (issued inside the phpmyadmin folder)

回答16:

restrict access on this file /phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and he will work.

simple tape this : sudo chmod 750 /phpmyadmin/config.inc.php !

回答17:

If you are using ubutu and you have the path like this /opt/lampp then type the following command in terminal.

sudo pkexec chmod 755 -R /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin

Hope this will find out your solution.

回答18:

On MacOS

You should revert back the permission to 644

sudo chmod 644 /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

回答19:

you should change the owner of the server by chown command

from home you can run this command

sudo chown {userName} -R ../../opt

If it does not work yet, run this command

sudo chmod 777 -R ../../opt

It should work now.
