Hello team! I'm tried to update phpmyadmin to latest stable version (4.6.6), my server have the version 4.2.12deb2+deb8u2. (Debian 8 updated). I followed the next instructions: Code: cd /tmp/ ls wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/4.6.6/phpMyAdmin-4.6.6-all-languages.tar.gz tar xzf phpMyAdmin-4.6.6-all-languages.tar.gz ls mv /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /usr/share/phpmyadmin2/ mv phpMyAdmin-4.6.6-all-languages /usr/share/phpmyadmin ls -l /usr/share/phpmyadmin service apache2 restart service mysql restart My problem is: The new phpmyadmin version don't read the /etc/phpmyadmin/ configuration. The reason to using /etc/phpmyadmin/ is to no be to change files over every update version. And I want to use PHP 7.1 over the PHP version 5.6.29-0+deb8u1 (default php version on apache), I have all ready instaled PHP 7.1 using the tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-7-on-debian/ The lastest phpMyAdmin version: https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ Thanks!
I would install phpmyadmin in a separate website, e.g. in a subdomain like phpmyadmin.yourdomain.tld if you want to use the latest version instead of overwriting the version that ships with Debian. Regarding PHP 7.1, when you followed that guide then you can select PHP 7.1 in the website settings for the site where you want to use it now. The system PHP should stay at the version that ships with Debian, otherwise ISPConfig will stop working on your server.
I get this from 2012, maybe this works? http://debian-tutorials.blogspot.mx/2012/02/upgrading-to-latest-phpmyadmin-version.html The recomendation is to use a Ubuntu repository to get update phpMyAdmin.
It might work. Personally, I won't do that on my servers as it is likely to break your system sooner or later when you install Debian updates.
