PhpMyAdmin “Wrong permissions on configuration fil

Question

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.

Answer 1

On MacOS

You should revert back the permission to 644

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Do the following in your terminal

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

After this you have to restart your server

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

try this it will work

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

thanks
