phpmyadmin-update

A script for quickly and safely updating phpMyAdmin on a server. It automates the download, backup, installation, and configuration process.

Features:

• Automatically downloads the specified version of phpMyAdmin.
• Creates a backup of the existing phpMyAdmin directory (if it exists).
• Installs the new version to /usr/share/phpmyadmin.
• Configures the blowfish_secret in the config.inc.php file with a randomly generated key.
• Sets proper permissions for the tmp folder.

Installation and Usage:

git clone https://github.com/AiratTop/phpmyadmin-update

cd phpmyadmin-update

sudo ./phpmyadmin-update.sh

Notes:

• The script assumes phpMyAdmin is installed in /usr/share/phpmyadmin. If it is in a different directory, update the PMADIR variable in the script.
• Update the VER variable in the script to the desired phpMyAdmin version before running it.
• A backup of the current phpMyAdmin directory is automatically created with a timestamped name (e.g., /usr/share/phpmyadmin.backup-<timestamp>).
• The script ensures the tmp directory is writable by setting chmod 777.

Feel free to suggest or add improvements if needed.
