Getting phpMyAdmin running is deceptively simple, unless like me, your utterly clueless and expect it to “just work”.
- Change your MySQL ROOT password!
$ /usr/mysql/5.1/bin/mysqladmin -u root password {{'NewPassword'}}
$ mysql -u root -p
- Install phpMyAdmin
$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack Webstack
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install pkg://webstack/phpmyadmin
$ man phpmyadmin
$ /usr/bin/phpmyadmin_evaluation_init
Final Configuration of phpMyAdmin:
- As root:
# vi /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
/blowfish_secret - In the empty ‘ ‘ after the = type any random string under 46 chars. Doesn’t matter what (AFAIK) and you won’t be asked again (AFAIK).
:wq
Point your webbrowser at http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ and you should be ready to rock & roll. If you have any trouble go back to the origianl Maintainer’s Blogpost and also read the MAN pages more carefully.
You should also familiarize yourself with Sun’s: Web Stack Getting Started Guide
Good Luck!
