xubuntu 13.10 Saucy : lighttpd + phpmyadmin : post-installation status 2

[fredboboss]

When installing phpMyAdmin on top of lighttpd, package configuration exits with status 2 :

dpkg: error processing phpmyadmin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 phpmyadmin

Further deinstallation with apt-get remove also fails.

Possible solution ?
It seems the following configuration file is missing when the user is prompted to select the HTTP server on which phpmyadmin is running :
/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/50-phpmyadmin.conf

As a workaround I created the lighttpd configuration with the following content :
<code>
server.modules += ( "mod_alias")

alias.url += ( "/phpmyadmin" => "/usr/share/phpmyadmin" )

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/phpmyadmin" {
    # Allowed IP addresses, this is a regexp : (127.0.0.1|127.0.0.2)
    $HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "(127.0.0.1)" {
       url.access-deny = ("")
    }
}

# Directory protection
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/phpmyadmin/libraries" {
    url.access-deny = ("")
}
</code>

And the installation with apt-get install phpmyadmin went successful.

Thank you for checking,
best regards,
Fred

zut ! I don't see how to attach multiple files, here is the tentative workaround
Fred

This file goes into /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/
so that when phpmyadmin is configured, it is enabled in lighttpd.

ll /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/50-phpmyadmin.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 mars 29 07:31 /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/50-phpmyadmin.conf -> ../conf-available/50-phpmyadmin.conf
