Hi,

when setup a new phpMyAdmin by using www.mydomian.tld/setup and configuring the configuration storage - always a database connection error was shown.

The apache log file shows following lines:

I was looking at

/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries/config/Validator.class.php 

and compared this to an older installation. So I figured out, that

function validateServer($values)

the

$values['Servers/1/extension']

is missing, there and in other code lines too?

So can you help?

Thank you!
