Warning in phpMyAdmin

Databases
1

I made a table with the SQL below in phpMyAdmin.

`CREATE TABLE `geo`.`country` ( `countryID` INT NOT NULL ) ENGINE = InnoDB;`

when I click the table country, it says the below.

What’s that meaning?
Did I something wrong in installation of phpMyAdmin or creating of table country?
How can I remove it?

2

Your PHPMyAdmin version is out of date.

Replace with the newest one, and the error will go away.

3

The link above says the warning below

It says remove first, before doing something.
But it doesn’t say anything about how to remove old one.
How can I remove old one first?

You stopped reading when you got to the warning. It literally gives you a numbered list of installation steps.

Do you mean I should stop reading when I got the the warning below?

Warning:

Never extract the new version over an existing installation of phpMyAdmin, always first remove the old files keeping just the configuration.

7

No, i’m saying the exact opposite. Keep reading, and actually follow the step-by-step installation steps they wrote down for you.

Do you open the manual for a piece of furniture, see the warnings/cautions page in page 2, and then stop building the piece of furniture?

How can I copy config.inc.php from my previous installation into the newly unpacked one?

9

I’m sorry, but if the concept of copying a file from one location to another is beyond you, you’re not qualified to install this piece of software.

I wish you the best of luck.

To those that follow: User unable to follow basic instructions. I release this thread to any who wish to beat their head against a wall.

Okay, I admit it. but I will be qualified to install this piece of software.

I think the copy command looks like the below.

cp /old/config.inc.php /new/config.inc.php

I have a question about installing phpMyAdmin.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext

I installed phpMyAdmin by the shell script above some days ago.
The Version information:of phpMyAdmin which is installed is 4.6.6deb5.

For installing it, mainly I followed the link below. some of the procedure which the link says are omitted.

My question is:
Although I installed it some days ago, why it installed old version of phpMyadmin?

12

I would check the path because it looks as though source and destination both start in the root which is highly unlikely.

13

I am afraid I accidently erase my post 11 of original.

The path is false path to explain about how I can copy a file in shell mode.
There is no path like /old/config.inc.php.

Actually I didn’t know where is “config.inc.php”.
But now I found the path by the shell script “locate config.inc.php”.
It is located as follow.

15

Was the old version removed or purged? Perhaps there are two versions installed.

16

I am afraid that I don’t know the difference between “removed” and “purged”.

I don’t think so.
Because I didn’t remove or purge phpMyAdmin(old one) and I didn’t install phpMyAdmin(new one).

Possibly .I did two times the following code. but the possiblity is very low.

17

I had an old version of PhpMyAdmin installed (and it always showed SQL errors which had to be ignored). I installed a new version and it installed the latest version in the the following path:

./www/phpMyAdmin-4.9.0.1-english

The downloaded and extracted files:

/home/john/Downloads/phpMyAdmin-4.9.0.1-english/

18

The following means I don’t have phpMyAdmin.4.9.01-english but I have /etc/phpMyadmin

dotker@dotker:~$ locate config.inc.php
/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/frames/config.inc.php
/var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
dotker@dotker:~$

That’, I think, is because my installing procedure is different from your procedure.

I did the following.

(1) install xubuntu .18.04.2
(2) install Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) 
(3) install php 7.2.19
(4) install mySQL 14.14 Distrib 5.7.27
(5) install phpMyAdmin. Version information: 4.6.6deb5

is the order of installation something wrong?
What order is recommended for getting the most updated version of them?

I think I can reinstall all those applications.

I have two options

19

You asked and got the wrong version.

I got my install instructions from the PhpMyAdmin web site.

Off out for lunch.

Do you mean the site below?
