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

For Arch and Manjaro users:

Create a folder tmp at /etc/webapps/phpmyadmin/ - mkdir /etc/webapps/phpmyadmin/tmp

Set permission to 777 - chmod 777 /etc/webapps/phpmyadmin/tmp

Add this line to the config file at /etc/webapps/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php - $cfg['TempDir'] = '/tmp';

Cheers :)
