Package: phpmyadmin Version: 4:4.6.6-4 Severity: normal Hi,
running dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin on a Stretch machine, telling it to reinstall the database while specifying a custom DB name other than phpmyadmin, fails like this: ---------8<----------- Determining localhost credentials from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded. Determining localhost credentials from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded. dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/phpmyadmin.conf checking privileges on database sys_phpmyadmin for sys_phpmyadmin@localhost: user creation needed. granting access to database sys_phpmyadmin for sys_phpmyadmin@localhost: success. verifying access for sys_phpmyadmin@localhost: success. dbconfig-common: dumping mysql database sys_phpmyadmin to /var/tmp/phpmyadmin.sys_phpmyadmin.2017-12-20-04.23.mysql.6Ur1Cg. dbconfig-common: dropping old mysql database sys_phpmyadmin. dropping database sys_phpmyadmin: success. verifying database sys_phpmyadmin was dropped: success. creating database sys_phpmyadmin: success. verifying database sys_phpmyadmin exists: success. populating database via sql... error encountered populating database: mysql said: ERROR 1044 (42000) at line 20: Access denied for user 'sys_phpmyadmin'@'localhost' to database 'phpmyadmin' --------->8----------- NB: 'phpmyadmin' in the last line althtough the DB name specified was 'sys_phpmyadmin', which did get respected in the prior lines. dbconfig-common uses /usr/share/dbconfig-common/data/phpmyadmin/install/mysql to bootstrap the PMA database, which contains at the very top these interfering statements: ---------8<----------- CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `phpmyadmin`[...]; USE phpmyadmin; --------->8----------- After I commented-out both statements (not required since dbconfig-common handles DB creation itself anyway), dpkg-reconfigure ran through and PMA was correctly configured to use the custom-named DB.
