mcrypt, config.inc.php issues in phpmyadmin — at Version 3

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

There are (at least) two issues whith phpmyadmin @3.2.0.1

  1. Extension mcrypt needs to be installed/enabled in PHP
  2. File config.inc.php is not generated.

I would expect that at least a warning message is shown during the installation that one needs to make sure that 'mcrypt' is enabled and how to do that (port install php5-mcryp for example).

The second issue about that the blowfish secret needs to be set and each and every offical documentation tells us to do so by editing config.inc.php. This file would be created during an installation either manually or automatically. This port really sucks in not following the official way - this file does not exist. If this port decides to follow an alternative route, then for heavens sake, please document this proper!!
