Fast solution for Ubuntu:

---

// edit php.ini and look for session.gc_maxlifetime
sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

// set to 24 hours
session.gc_maxlifetime = 86400

---

// edit config.inc.php and look for $cfg['LoginCookieValidity']
sudo vi /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

// set to 24 hours
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 86400;

// restart web server
sudo service apache2 restart
