Distributing and packaging phpMyAdmin ¶

This document is intended to give pieces of advice to people who want to redistribute phpMyAdmin inside other software packages such as Linux distribution or some all in one package including web server and MySQL server.

Generally, you can customize some basic aspects (paths to some files and behavior) in libraries/vendor_config.php.

For example, if you want setup script to generate a config file in var, change SETUP_CONFIG_FILE to /var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and you will also probably want to skip directory writable check, so set SETUP_DIR_WRITABLE to false.
