[FIXED] What means dbconfig-common?

Issue

I have a simple question.

During installation of PHPMyAdmin it ask you if you want to configure the database with dbconfig-common (Debian).

Can someone please explain to me what dbconfig-common exactly does? What is the difference?

Many thanks!

Solution

dbconfig-common is a tool which simplifies database configuration. Instead of editing the config-files directly, it provides an UI where you can set up your setting to avoid misconfiguration. You can find more information here: http://docs.openstack.org/havana/install-guide/install/apt-debian/content/debconf-dbconfig-common.html
