Description of problem:

1 package phppgadmin-7.13.0-1.mga8.noarch

How reproducible:
it's a bug with phppgadmin 7.13.0, and a workaround is available, but we have to wait for the next version I suppose, to be fixed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch Postgresql service
2. connect to http://localhost/phppgadmin/ with login/password for Posgresql

Hello,
Thanks for the report.
For information too, this is due to the use of PHP 8 for which phppgadmin is not yet completely ready.

Thank you for the report + reference.
That was somewhat vague about PHP8. Nothing we can do before they move.

Assigning to Marc for the package.

I think we can apply those changes - e.g. each was deprecated years ago.

Comment 4 Marc Krämer 2021-03-11 18:48:48 CET

Updated phppgadmin

Applied some upstream patches, to support latest installed php-version

I tried the new package, but the issue remains.

I had to fix it with the same workaround :
https://github.com/phppgadmin/phppgadmin/issues/119

I had to replace /var/www/phppgadmin/libraries/adodb directory with this one :
https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/
