Answer 1

1. Edit phpMyAdmin's config.inc.php and add or update LoginCookieValidity the value as follows:

   $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600 * 9; // 9 hours
   

2. To upload more than 2M:

   cd /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
   
   sudo nano php.ini
   

3. Search for upload_max_filesize in php.ini, and change value to 64M (for 64 Mb):

   upload_max_filesize = 64M
   

4. Save and exit.

5. Restart apache:

   sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
   

6. Finish!
