Bug Description

Binary package hint: lighttpd

I installed phpMyAdmin and I choose to configure it to work with Lighttpd while apt-get was installing it, however it didn't enable Lighttpd's module "fastcgi", which is obviously required by phpMyAdmin.

I was getting 403-Forbidden errors until I enabled this module.

Please, enable it when phpMyAdmin is configured to work with Lighttpd.

(I'm running Hardy)

I can confirm this for Ubuntu 9.04 - after installing lighttpd and phpmyadmin, I had to manually enable that module with "sudo lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi" for phpMyAdmin to work.

apt-get install phpmyadmin lighttpd php5-cgi
lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

(default auth
user: admin

check /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup to change the password.
