phpMyAdmin update - ISPConfig Apache restart

[wpwood3]

Not a question. Just sharing my experience here in case it can help others...

Today I used the Update Manager to update phpMyAdmin to the latest 2.11.1.2 version that's available on the ISPConfig Downloads page (thanks Hans!). Here's what I did:

1) Remove the old phpMyAdmin:

rm -rf /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/phpmyadmin
rm /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/phpmyadmin.tar.gz
rm -rf /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/tools/tools/phpmyadmin

2) Upload & install the new phpMyAdmin directly from the ISPConfig website using Update Manager.
Select "URL" in update manager and paste the url for phpMyAdmin into the URL field:

http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/phpmyadmin-2.11.1.2.pkg

Click Install

What could be easier right?

Well, everything installed but phpMyAdmin would not run.
My browser would just hang and not connect. So I thought, simple, I just need to restart Apache. I restarted Apache in ISPConfig under Management > Server > Services. Still, phpMyAdmin refused to work.

Then I remembered that ISPConfig uses its own Apache and maybe phpMyAdmin is running on that Apache. Sure enough, that's the case.

3) I restarted the ISPConfig service (which includes Apache) and all was well.
Here's how:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart
or
service ispconfig_server restart

The fact is you just have to wait a few minutes after you install a pkg. Also updated the phpMyAdmin today and it took up to 3 minutes untill it worked. We just waited longer and it worked like a charm.

I didn't know that. When I installed the earlier version of phpMyAdmin it worked immediately so I got concerned when this one did not. Oh well, restarting the ISPConfig service works for sure.

It should work without any problems, but because of security reasons and in the mean time there is a new phpMyAdmin package available already.
