Question

I am having a problem with Suhosin and PhpMyAdmin on the same server. When reading the docs: phpmyadmin.net is states that I should overrite the settings for phpmyadmin
eg “suhosin.request.max_vars”. Where would I put this?

In my apapche2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

# Note: Please refer to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl for SSL/TLS setting.
#Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/apache2/phpmyadmin/"
#Alias /mysql "/usr/share/apache2/phpmyadmin/"
<Directory "/usr/share/apache2/phpmyadmin/">
    Options -Indexes
</Directory>

default-ssl

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/site/public
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None

    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    </Directory>

    # Removed SSL config 

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/apache2/phpmyadmin/
