Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!

are u using lampp in ubuntu 10.10 and ur localhost page is wokring fine, but when u click on phpmyadmin u get this stupid error
"Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!"

From what I feel is because we have set username password for mysql and have not updated the right file so that phpmyadmin can know about it so,

1.go to /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp
2.look for mysql.php
3.update the mysql_connect("localhost") line (it will be inside a if loop) to
mysql_connect("localhost"."mysql_username","passwo rd");

and then u can chmod the file to 0755.

Difference between is_file and file_exists

If you want to know that the argument supplied is a file or not use is_file() file_exists() will take both file and directory as input and return true if they exists. So, unless you specifically want to check if the argument passed is a file use is_file otherwise use file_exists()
