The phpMyAdmin installation(s) in the sql locker are old and somewhat screwed up. geofft was going to fix this but he went to sleep, so I’m recording the necessary steps here as a reminder.

• svn co https://phpmyadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phpmyadmin/tags/STABLE/phpMyAdmin
• Copy config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php.
  • Set $cfg['blowfish_secret'] to a secure random value.
  • Set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'sql.mit.edu'
  • Set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'
  • Set $cfg['ForceSSL'] = TRUE
• Copy /etc/php.ini to php.ini.
  • Add the mcrypt and mysqli extensions.

The patches and .htaccess redirect are then unnecessary, and future upgrades will be as simple as svn up. (Example: <​https://andersk.scripts.mit.edu/phpMyAdmin/>.)
