sthen 4b7ad2646b various tweaks to phpMyAdmin packaging. feedback/OKs from aja@ william@ jasper@ giovanni@ kevlo@ - move MESSAGE to README. - add missing dep on php-mysqli. - change the unpack/fake-install method to use the standard extract infrastructure. - @sample contrib/htaccess into .htaccess so apache can use it by default if allowoverride is enabled. this does some basic user-agent checks to reduce the risk of phpmyadmin sites showing up in search engines. - provide an @sample'd apache config file which enables use of the .htaccess file and restricts access to localhost. talk about this in README so people know what's going on. (phpMyAdmin has a history of security-related bugs, but because it's rather commonly used it's much better to have it in ports so that it can be updated easily; these changes make the default installation safer).		2012-08-31 16:40:38 +00:00

README

$OpenBSD: README,v 1.1 2012/08/31 16:40:38 sthen Exp $

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

phpMyAdmin has been installed into ${INSTDIR}.

If using Apache, you can make this accessible to clients by enabling
the configuration file:

    # ln -s ../modules.sample/phpMyAdmin-httpd.conf /var/www/conf/modules/
    # /etc/rc.d/httpd restart

By default, this sets an alias for /phpMyAdmin and restricts access
to connections coming from localhost.  It also uses AllowOverride to
enable an .htaccess file restricting access from search engine bots.
(The previously recommended method of adding a symlink under htdocs/ 
is not compatible with <Directory> overrides).

If you need to allow wider access, after considering security
implications, edit /var/www/conf/modules.sample/phpMyAdmin-httpd.conf
and restart Apache.

You can check that you have a working installation by accessing:
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php

SECURITY WARNING
================
Be aware that phpMyAdmin is a frequently attacked target due to a
history of security problems.  You are advised to restrict access to
trusted workstations or access it on localhost via an SSH tunnel.
