Introduction
phpMyAdmin want config.inc.php to be not world writable, it's sound simple, but not if you run phpMyAdmin from an NTFS filesystem (in my case, linux server who mount a Windows folder) it's not that simple.
There are two way to solve this problem :
Simple way, Linux Server, Linux Filesystem
Just chmod 0755 the file
chmod 0755 config.inc.php
Linux or Windows Server, NTFS Filesystem
If like me you run a Linux Virtual Machine who mount a Windows folder where phpMyAdmin sources are located, edit config.inc.php and add this line :
$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;
This will tell phpMyAdmin to stop checking for fileperm because they can't be properly detected.
Hope this help
