phpmyadmin not working correctly in Plesk.

[Dipak Bhoi]

Hello guys,

One of our client was facing problem with phpmyadmin after upgrading plesk panel. He has server with Ubuntu running Plesk Panel.
He stated that  " I cannot access PHPMyAdmin for any of the domains, the Initial phpMyadmin page loads but all other pages don't load correctly ".

After investigating on it, I found that it was a session which was not loading properly. So I checked there was a absence of session.save_path variable in the [Session] section of php.ini file and  incorrect permissions for the sessions file.

To solve this problem follow the following steps :-

1. Login to serve via ssh with root user.
2. open the PHP configuration file.

# vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Check for the session.save_path into file and put the path as mentioned below.

session.save_path = "/opt/psa/admin/sessions"

Also make sure that sessions folder has 777 permissions as shown below:

# ls -l /opt/psa/admin/
...
drwxrwxrwx 2 root psaadm 4096 Jun 14 16:33 sessions

That's all. Now phpmyadmin should work fine.

Enjoy !!!
