Upgrade version of PHPMyAdmin

Question

I'd like to match locally the same version of phpmyadmin installed in my production server. Is there a way to upgrade the version of Phpmyadmin in MAMP to the last version without breaking it?

I upgraded MAMP but the latest version do not include the updated PhpMyAdmin, just an old version.

Answer 1

Download the latest version from here.

Find and replace Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin ( MAMP local folder directory) with the latest phpMyAdmin you downloaded.

Don't change the folder name (keep the folder name on "phpMyAdmin").

Make sure you have config.inc.php in the /phpMyAdmin folder. As mentioned below, you can copy that file over from your existing phpMyAdmin folder.

Answer 2

If you have MAMP PRO replace the /phpMyAdmin installation folder in the following folder: /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/

Answer 3

I had the same problem as @Nathan and followed these steps to get the latest phpMyAdmin working. [@thanaxix gave a valuable insight and the steps have been refined here]

1. Get the latest phpMyAdmin
2. Copy the config.inc.php file from /Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin to the desktop.
3. Delete the phpMyAdmin folder from /Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin
4. Unzip the phpMyAdmin file you downloaded, rename the resulting folder to phpMyAdmin [syntax is important here] and copy it to /Applications/MAMP/bin/

5. Copy the config.inc.php file from your desktop to /Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin. 6. I would suggest you make one edit to config.inc.php. On line 61 you will need to add a blowfish secret in between the single quotes:

   $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '';
   

6. Start up MAMP Pro and when you choose the phpMyAdmin tab you should be directed to your updated phpMyAdmin.

Hope this helps.

first remove older version:

sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin

sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin

and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nijel/phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
