Copy config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php or create one using the phpMyAdmin's setup script and then copy config/config.inc.php (generated by the setup script) into phpMyAdmin's root directory.
So to answer your question, there is no configuration file available apriori, only a sample is available. Even if we create a /etc/phpmyadmin/config directory and have /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config as a soft link to it, we still cannot avoid users from editing /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php. So, I can think of only 1 alternative location (or 1 other natural location) for phpMyAdmin and that is to deliver phpMyAdmin directly into /var/apache2/2.2/htdocs (This would absolve the requirement to set any URL mapping). >> 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? > I don't think I understood the question correctly. There's no enabling on phpmyadmin. Once the url mapping is done it is served by apache directly. And the URL mapping is done only inside a <IfModule mod_php.c>....</IfModule> block. >> 3.1 Documentation files >> >> /usr/share/phpmyadmin/Documentation.html >> /usr/share/phpmyadmin/Documentation.txt >> >> > How does the user discover this documentation? > phpMyAdmin provides a link to the documentation. >> Apache PHP5 module Uncommitted PSARC >> 2007/552 >> PHP5 for MySQL Uncommitted PSARC >> 2007/656 >> MySQL Committed LSARC >> 2007/608 >> > > What package dependencies do you require?

If MySQL is not present in localhost then phpMyAdmin must be setup (using the setup script) to point it to the remote MySQL. I will remove the MySQL dependency in the imported interfaces.
