How to Manually Upgrade phpMyAdmin

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!

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.

Thanks a lot for your support!.

Regards!

Small correction is about caps.

On CentOS, phpmyadmin = phpMyAdmin on all folders.

sudo mkdir /var/lib/phpMyAdmin/tmp/
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/lib/phpMyAdmin/tmp
sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/lib/phpMyAdmin/tmp/

All working great

Thank you so much

Hi, I update to phpmyadmin-5.0.1 in centos 8, but the 2 errors doesn’t disappear… this dir /etc/phpmyadmin/ don’t exist and my server can’t create it..

cd /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/

-bash: cd: /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/: No such file or directory

sudo mkdir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/’: No such file or directory

what can I do?

Very Well!!!
