Andrea: Yes, you are correct, that should work. I wasn't debating that. If you installed phpmyadmin from the repositories, phpmyadmin calls php files from /etc/phpmyadmin and /var/lib/phpmyadmin also, as well as /usr/share/phpmyadmin. phpmyadmin will work without adding those 2 directories into open_basedir, but it breaks some functionality of phpmyadmin (notice some warning messages at the bottom of the phpmyadmin index page?). You can check those 2 directories to verify there's php files inside of them. :)
I also added the note that my test wasn't exactly like yours (and therefore your issue could still be a bug) because I wasn't using mine as a prefix (as your issue stated you were doing), even though I removed the trailing slashes. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701765 Title: open_basedir breaks by restricting paths to files that should be allowed; Unknown: Failed opening required '/usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php' (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
