How to Manually Upgrade phpMyAdmin

very good

nice job bro

One problem with 5.0.2 was I had no tmp directory under /var/lib/phpMyAdmin (it is phpMyAdmin not phpmyadmin). Created the tmp directory, changed ownership as apache:apache, made sure it had write permissions. Had to restart httpd for these config changes. Then errors went away.
When I set tmp pointer, site stopped working (did not exist – I did not confirm first).
Centos7
5.5.65-MariaDB – MariaDB Serve
Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/7.3.22
phpMyAdmin: 5.0.2

Great. I hate it when they keep updating shit so fast, and compatibility errors start occurring, but I love it when guys like you give us an simple fix.

Perfect Article! Thank you mate 🙂

Thank you! Perfecto!

Perfection, the smoothest process I have ever experienced. Well done on this tutorial.

Thank you so much for this AWESOME tutorial! Every step was worked perfectly.

wow, just fantastic steps, every step was described, even how to save and exit editor in linus, Thank you

Good tutorial

This is one of the best support pages I have experienced in my entire coding life span. I am 80 years old, I started learning how to code 5 years ago and in my humble opinion it is not easy, however it becomes easier to understand each day I continue to learn. This particular page was extremely helpful with your detailed and specific instructions/guidelines. They (instructions/guidelines) were easy to understand and follow, I did not have to go to another page to get explanations for anything. THANKS, I really like your style.

Great post!
Thank you so much!

Unfortunately your tutorial seems to have made things worse, with an error coming up:

Error during session start; please check your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.

session_write_close(): write failed: No space left on device (28)

session_write_close(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php/sessions)

If anyone has any answers, then would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Hello .. I am Using Google Cloud..I Just Updated Php Version to 7.3 and followed your process but after doing that when i try to log in phpmyadmin it says..PHP 7.1.3+ is required.
Currently installed version is: 7.0.33-0+deb9u7….But When i check through SSH It says 7.3 ..Please Help what to do..

thank you!

thanks a lot, it works

Thank you so much !!

Wonder Full, hardly a 5 min job. Thanks A TON!

This is perfect! But if you’re running NGINX or Apache2 and you assign these services to a user, you’ll need to change the ownership of /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp && /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php && /var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php to your user.

Where user == Your User Name

sudo chown user.user /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
sudo chown root.user /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php
sudo chown root.user /var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Perfect Tutorial!

Upgraded in a couple of minutes.

Thanks!

A solução mais simples e rápida que encontrei até agora. Parabéns.

E, para quem se interessar e tiver o mesmo problema, utilizao Ubuntu 18.04 em WSL (Windows 10 Home), PHP 7.4, Apache2 e Mysql.

Muito obrigado e sucesso!

Perfect tutorial. I have upgraded in 2 minutes. No issues at all. I didnt get that blowfish warning too.

Fantastic. Thanks you very nuch

Uhll! I think I’m close! 90% of my bugs disappeard. The only issue (new one) is “Failed to read configuration file!”

define('CONFIG_FILE', '/etc/phpmyadmin/');

I was trying to find a solution before reaching you. The problem is that there is a message “This usually means there is a syntax error in it, please check any errors shown below.”, but the field bellow is empty. Any idea what could be? Thx in advance.

Hi, after doing everything you told me to do, I still got the exact same two errors… can you help me?

Génial…bravo et merci…

Fantastic!

Very good! Thanks man…

Great!! Thank you…

Hi sorry for this, everything works and I can clearly see the latest 5.0.2 version, but I have the issue that if I run “apt update” it tells me that my installed version is 4.6.6 and fails to upgrade to the proposed 4.9.5. Is there a way to fix my apt in a way that it will understand that my version is now 5.0.2? many thanks

thank you so much!

hello i have this error which is displayed at the bottom of my page how to fix it please
$cfg[‘TempDir’] (/var/lib/phpmyadmin/temp/) is not accessible. phpMyAdmin is unable to cache models and therefore will be slow.

Thanks you very mush!

thanks!

It worked like a charm! Many thanks. Great post and great site!

Superb – you anticipated all the hiccups I would find. I never had to look anywhere else for once! lol

Thanks mate.

Hello… Many thanks for this, it help perfectly. Very good job.

Perfect! Thanks for sharing this!

thanks alot, I was about to go back to selling drugs….. but then again it happens with every bump in the way

Thank you! This saved me a lot of grief

I’ve installer Php FPM 7, 7.1 , 7.2, 7.3 but phpmyadmin still uses php5.6 so I can’t upgrad to v5.xx . How can I change the version of php that phpmyadmin uses? Thanks

Thank you sir!

If possible suggest to audience to wget to a different directory, maybe home but not /usr/share/phpmyadmin.

Well done. I appreciate this!

Thank you. Sorted out my Raspberry Pi install. Nice easy to follow instructions.

Appreciated.
