Like many other applications, phpMyAdmin expects its config files to be editable and to be mixed up with the rest of its files. Which fails for two reasons: - /usr might be read only (even in the global zone) - /usr may be shared between zones (and would be readonly in non-global zones in that case) Therefore: where do the config files go? > 2.1.2 File to configure apache with a new URL mapping for > /phpmyadmin > > /etc/apache2/2.2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf What is the mechanism for a user to enable phpmyadmin? > 2.2 Versioning > > At any point of time there will be only one phpMyAdmin release > available.

Presumably php, apache, and php-mysql. As the mysql server might conceivably live on another system, it can't be a prerequisite.
