fresh install of asterisknow with asterisk 1.6 and freepbx 2.7
upgraded asterisk to 1.8, upgraded php to 5.33 and mysql to 5.152
yum updated
installed phpMyAdmin 3.3.8 from remi
Problem
On attempting the setup I get the ubiquitous
“Cannot load or save configuration
Please create web server writable folder config in phpMyAdmin top level directory as described in documentation. Otherwise you will be only able to download or display it.”
Have commented out appropriately in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
Have chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/php/session
Have chown -R asterisk:asterisk phpMyAdmin
Please someone put me out of my misery! Whats missing?
httpd is running under group:user of asterisk:asterisk but phpMyAdmin got installed somehow with apache:root. Took too much of my life to crack but now it’s done, I hope I save someone else the sleepless nights of frustation.
