Hi!

phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) 2.6.4 RC1 has been just released.

One of the changes is a configuration option has been removed:
/**
* Disable the default warning about $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] not being set
* You should use this if and ONLY if the PmaAbsoluteUri auto-detection
* works perfectly.
*/
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri_DisableWarning'] = FALSE;
...so the installation script can be slightly simplified.

#!/bin/bash

cd /var/www/html

VERSION=2.6.4-rc1

I used the DirectAdmin script to upgrade. My first attempt using their scripts. And it worked for me!
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/packages
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/9.0/phpMyAdmin-2.6.4-rc1.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
nano phpMyAdmin.sh (changed: VER=2.6.2-pl1 to VER=2.6.4.rc1)
.phpMyAdmin.sh
Worked (and verified)!!!
