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

Create the tmp folder in the root of phpmyadmin files

In addition to that, you also need to provide all permissions to that folder. That's what I did in Windows.
