How to Manually Upgrade phpMyAdmin

This is the best tutorial ever I’ve followed online.

Thanks for the clear explaination..

Some Kudo’s for you!

Thanks a lot. This is great and life-saving for me.

Great walkthrough, thanks!

Thank you

This is just brilliant!
Thank you soo much.

Awesome! Case does matter though in centos it’s /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/

Worked all great! Thanks.

Thanks. Worked perfectly once I found MY typo!

Followed all steps and now phpmydamin just opens to a blank page. Rebooting made no difference.

Awesome tutorial!

Thank you so much!

thank you very much

I had some trouble, but after copying the old “config.inc.php” over, everything runs perfect.

Great Tutorial ! I don’t know what exactly happened but after closely following the instructions to install phpmyadmin I get the infamous 4O4 ERROR – URL not found on this server. Every other thing worked as per the instructions.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial

New Version of phpMyAdmin 🙂
Thanks for this complete tutorial ^^

Great article. Very professionnal. Thanks.

Hello, I have a question, I really don’t know if you can help me, but if you do, I would appreciate it too much! The problem is the following: I have a VPS, in it I put the Phpmyadmin, mysql, etc …, I also installed the OGP (Open Game Panel), the fact is that when I create the database of one of my server games, everything is fine, it connects well and everything, but when I enter the game and try to register, it does not let me, I get that the account “supposedly already exists”, but in reality it does not exist, a table must be created in the table ” users ” with the user’s data, but it is not like that, I get that error, if you could help me I would appreciate it, I know it does not have much to do with what you published, but I am new to this and I do not know how to fix it .

Postscript: It is not the game, since the game is called “SAMP” (San Andreas MultiPlayer) and actually in other VPS if it works well, but not in mine, then the problem must be with MySQL or PhpMyAdmin, but I really don’t know.

Thank you you saved my installation and my life.

Great tutorial – Thank you !

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!

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!
