phpMyAdmin blowfish_secret

November 24, 2011 by Igor Drobot 3 Comments




After login into phpMyAdmin panel I get this error message[1]

Everything work fine I can manage everything, but if security is important for you, you should look at the solution.

[1]Error message:

1
The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase(blowfish_secret)

Solution :

cat /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'dfd3kjGj12dfT27665Z';

cat /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'dfd3kjGj12dfT27665Z';

Get the blowfish_secret variable and paste it into the config.inc .php

vim /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

vim /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
