I'm in the process of setting up a LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) server with phpMyAdmin.

I installed and followed the various instructions including the create_tables script they provide etc (I've verified the pma user exists, as well as the tables).

However, when I login to phpMyAdmin I get these 2 errors:

  • The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. To find out why click here.
  • The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).

Additionally, the blowfish secret is set in the config file so this leads me to believe that PMA cant read the config file - but i'm not sure what to do!

Have tried fiddling permissions and owners but no help - although was very much guessing as to which chmod/chown it should be!

Any ideas?

  • Did you copy + rename the config file, or are you editing the original? May 30, 2013 at 0:58
  • First I tried using the wizard but it asks for a directory called config, which even though I created and chmod 777 it still couldn't see it. So copied the sample config to config.inc.php but nothing still. May 30, 2013 at 8:48

Your config file may also be in the wrong location.
