For phpmyadmin it's a bit more complicated since the T3 BE module only
does the pre-signon configuration and immediately redirects to pMA. In
case the (global) extension directory is symlinked pMA cannot properly
include the config file. Even if I think this is a very special setup we
understand that it's still an annoyance. The next release of pMA (4.0.2)
addresses this issue also.

We tried severals methods (including temporary files) and finally
decided to use session vars to transfer the required information to pMA.
And we already changed the code of the 4.x branch to use typo3/mod.php
and move the required configuration into the session so we do not need
to include config files any longer.

It still needs some testing and a few minor changes. We plan to publish
the updated version (maybe including pMA 3.0.1 if it is released) next
week. If one would like to test the pre-release 4.0.2 you can grab it at
