Wrong permission on file makes phpmyadmin show blank page

[Laurent Dinclaux]

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

It seem the current phpmyadmin package gives wrong permission on /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php

sudo apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Then http://myhost/phpmyadmin shows a white page.

chmod 644 /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php solve it

Postinst properly does this, but dbconfig-common seems to fail to set proper permissions.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
