Nginx PhpMyAdmin PHP - Cannot Start Session Without Errors

PhpMyAdmin should work properly with normal PHP installation with Nginx as the web server. Unfortunately there's an error regarding session error. Default PHP installation will configure the session path owner to Apache. This isn't right for the nginx and to store the session. More investigation from the php.ini will show you the path for the session. Take a note :

session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"

Solutions :

1) Change the owner for the /var/lib/php/session

From :

bash# ls -l /var/lib/php
total 4
drwxrwx--- 2 root apache 4096 Nov 13  2009 session

To :

# ls -l /var/lib/php
total 4
drwxrwx--- 2 root www-data 4096 Nov 18 03:18 session

Finally restart your Nginx and try to browse your phpmyadmin. This should work for now :)

Yatta~

MySQL Enterprise thingy

It's been a weird thing when you install MySQL server especially the one that is 'enterprise' version is not working with your PHP. That is the problem that my friend and I facing today.

Upgrading MySQL to MariaDB

Ever since MariaDB exists, I really like to install and test the performance but time consume for my daily work stopped me to try MariaDB, today I plan to update my MySQL server that serve lot of data in and out to MariaDB 10.0 (today latest version :P ) So there's a few step that should be considered before we can proceed further. 1. BACKUP - Always backup your data at the first place. - Save it to the proper place so that if anything goes wrong, you can export back your data. mysqldump -u root -pYOURPASSWORD --all-databases > allbackup.sql & If you don't want to wait and you know that the current database is big, just put the process at the background so that you can monitor the process using top :) - Backup your current configuration files cp /etc/my.cnf /tmp/my.cnf.bak 2. Let's go If you're installing mysql from webtatic and made a replacing package name , you may encountered an error like Error: mysql55w conflicts with MariaDB-server-5.5....
