Topic: phpMyAdmin permission

Hi

I'm using RHEL7. Every time there's an update to phpMyAdmin, the RPM tries to set apache:apache permissions on /etc/phpMyAdmin (and possibly other places as well?), but can't and chooses root:root instead.

Is it possible to only create the permissions on install instead of every update? I'm using nginx/php-fpm and phpMyAdmin has it's own user, so every time there's an update, phpMyAdmin can't read the config, and I have to change it manually.

Re: phpMyAdmin permission

This package is designed to work "out of the box" with php-fpm defautl configuration.

Dont know why you think you have to does this, but simply add this user in the apache group.

Re: phpMyAdmin permission

I isolate every single one of my web applications (by letting them run as individual users), including 3rd party stuff like phpMyAdmin. It happens to be a legal requirement on this particular server.

I don't have an apache group, I have an nginx group. I just wish it would be possible to not change permissions once installed.

Re: phpMyAdmin permission

Sorry, but this is not possible.

Packaged applications rely on the "apache" group.

More, if you have various pools/users, it's very probably a bad idea to use phpMyAdmin package.
As you need 1 instance (configuration) of phpMyAdmin per pool/user.

That's too bad.

This is not a problem. The applications use the same MySQL server, but with different privileges.
