Error in phpMyAdmin after updating to v4.8.0: The $cfg['TempDir'] (./tmp/) is not accessible

Question

phpMyAdmin worked fine with v4.7.9. Now after updating to v4.8.0 today (replacing the old phpmyadmin folder against the new one) I\'m getting this mess

Answer 1

well,in my case this error has occured when i was using ubuntu 18.04. All you need is to go to the installation directory (in ubuntu - opt/lampp/phpmyadmin) and create a folder tmp with all the suitable read/write permissions.

Follow these steps in case of ubuntu-

1.go to the PMA installation directory by typing following commands in cmd-

cd opt/lampp/phpmyadmin

2.Then type the following command-

sudo mkdir tmp && chmod 777 tmp

and then you are done..!! I hope it helps..
