My First apt-get upgrade casualty - phpmyadmin 'broke'

Tags:

Hi,

 

I have been using Debian for about six months, and have yet
to have any issues when upgrading system components with apt-get update /
upgrade – until today…

 

After updating phpmyadmin, I got a dialog box saying there
is a conflict between my config file and the new one being offered.  I
selected the ‘keep my config file’ option – hoping this would
get me through.  In hindsight, I probably should have looked at the
differences.

 

After the upgrade, I started getting ‘Internal Server
Error’ 500 538 when going to the phpmyadmin page.  I tried a number
of things, finally doing a apt-get –purge remove phpmyadmin and starting
over – but I still have the same problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance –

 

Geoff

I'd be willing to bet that this won't fix it. I don't know what will,
as I didn't have time to try anything beyond the obvious, but there was
an .htaccess issue after an upgrade to phpmyadmin on Sarge. I have
another Sarge installation with phpmyadmin on WMWare, but this didn't
seem to have the problem. The defaults are all still in place on that
version, while the document root is elsewhere on my real server. I have
a feeling that is the cause of the trouble, that someone somewhere
assumed /var/www.

I eventually reinstalled apache after recreating the offending .htaccess
files and reinstalling phpmyadmin didn't help. A nuisance, but still
probably much quicker than trying to find the root cause.

It worked yesterday...
