If you created the directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config and you want phpMyAdmin to be able to write configuration data, you should change the owner/group to apache:apache and set group write permissions on that directory. chown apache:apache /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config chmod g+w /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
