phpMyAdmin config not working on Centos 6.5

Recently installed phpMyAdmin using yum:

yum install phpmyadmin

phpmyadmin was installed to 

/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/

but there is no config file there.

there is a config.inc.php file at 

/etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

as the phpMyAdmin docs indicate (http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#linux-distributions - read bit about Red Hat Enterprise Linux)

However, changes to that file are not picked up by the phpMyAdmin application. I've tried putting a copy of that in various locations:

/etc/phpMyAdmin/config/config.inc.php
/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config/config.inc.php

without success. None of these files are used as config, and they all had the correct permissions (a+rwx), as did their parent directories.

Does anyone know why this doesn't work? Naming the file config.inc.php is correct, right?

I had this problem today. I know it's al old thread but Google brought me here, so I'll give the solution to what was my problem.

I had declared the basedir in PHP as /etc/phpmyadmin like that in lowercase but it should be /etc/phpMyAdmin in camelcase. An absurd mistake that took me 1 hour to figure out.

If you want to quickly see how it looks in your configuration just run

echo ini_get('open_basedir');

Check if the names are correct if not then change in php.ini or any other configurations you use in your case for PHP.

I encountered the same issue when running nginx web server on CentOS 7. I figured out that the problem lies in insufficient access permissions to the configuration file, which resides in /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php.

By default this file and parent folder is owned by root:apache and changing group to nginx solves this issue.

chown -R root:nginx /etc/phpMyAdmin/

phpMyAdmin can't read config file and using default config.

I've solved this issue by setting chmod 644 to this file:

/etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

And chmod 755 to this folder:

/etc/phpMyAdmin/

Check file and folder directories are readable by user that you're running web server also.

Good luck.
