Public bug reported:
If the Apache user is different from the default www-data, phpmyadmin cannot
import SQL scripts because only www-data has write permission on the
upload_tmp_dir configured in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf (which is
/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp by default).
This could be solved by either:
- making /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp world-writable during install
- making /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp writable by the apache user at the time of
install
- not specifying a custom upload_tmp_dir, so that it falls back to the default
/tmp or whatever apache-writable directory has been configured as
upload_tmp_dir for PHP. In that case, that default directory should be added to
the open_basedir directories in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf during install.
IMO, it's quite common to change the default apache user (from www-data
to the current user, for example), especially for web developers (it
releaves the pain of setting write permissions on web-app folders during
development).
