[BlueOnyx:10583] Again with the phpMyAdmin infinite loop

[Chris Gebhardt - VIRTBIZ Internet]

Hi Gang,
I have searched and searched this one, but I'm not sure that we ever got 
a "final resolution" to the phpMyAdmin infinite loop issue.

What I'm duplicating here has been on 5108R.

Log into BlueOnyx GUI as admin, click to Server Management > Security > 
phpMyAdmin and get the non-stop redirect.

To fix that, I verify that CCE and the GUI have the correct MySQL 
credentials stored by doing this:
1. ssh to server, su - for root

2. # /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient

3. enter: find MySQL

4. cceclient will return something like:
104 OBJECT 29

5. enter: get 29

6. cceclient will return a line like:
102 DATA sql_rootpassword = "YourPassHere!"

7. at BX GUI, click to Server Management > Network Services > MySQL > 
Change Password

8. enter the password that was returned in step 6 above in all 3 boxes 
and click save

After that, I am able to enjoy phpMyAdmin from the BX GUI when logged in 
as admin.

HOWEVER, site-admin users are still unable to access phpMyAdmin when 
logging in as site-admin and clicking to Personal Profile > phpMyAdmin.

Instead, they get a never-ending loop, and the entire time, the admserv 
access_log will continue to scroll like this:
