 * Hi: I am using WP4.5.3 and WF 6.1.10 and running on a Debian Linux 3.2.81-1
 * I installed the latest version of Wordfence (first time I have installed it) 
   and created the wordfence-waf.php file. I then updated php.ini and inserted the“
   auto_prepend_file = ‘…'” line.
 * Since that time, my phpmyadmin ceased to work and all I got was a blank screen.
   Does it matter where in php.ini you insert this line? Could I have done something
   else wrong?
 * I have now taken in out and phpmyadmin works again but clearly the firewall doesn’t.
 * Many Thanks
