I can not access phpmyadmin after updating PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.5 on CentOS

Question

I updated phpadmin, it then gave error saying it needs latest version of PHP 5.5.

So i tried to update the PHP using this method: http://anandarajpandey.com/2014/04/21/virtualmin-upgrate-php-5-3-to-php-5-4-php-5-5-or-higher-version-from-yum/

Didnt work due to:

php55w-common-5.5.29-1.w5.i386 from webtatic-el5 has depsolving problems
--> php55w-common conflicts with php-common
Error: php55w-common conflicts with php-common 

So i removed php-common using this:

yum -y remove php-common

Then I installed php 5.5 using:

yum -y install php55w php55w-opcache php55w-common php55w-mysql php55w-mbstring php55w-cli php55w-gd php55w-pdo php55w-mcrypt

Then i checked php version it worked and was latest version. but i noticed that when removing php it also removed and renamed some conf files one of them being "/etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf"

I now get this error: (for http://198.154.62.131/phpMyAdmin/ )

any ideas how to bet phpmyadmin back?

Answer 1

It seemed like the conf file was ok its just that some file/s was removed or changed in the usr/share/phpMyAdmin folder.

I renamed /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf.rpmsave back to phpMyAdmin.conf

I then did the following and it now works! cd /usr/share wget http://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/4.5.0.2/phpMyAdmin-4.5.0.2-all-languages.zip unzip phpMyAdmin-4.5.0.2-all-languages.zip

Opened File manager, renamed phpMyAdmin to phpMyAdminOld. Deleted the downloaded zip file. Renamed phpMyAdmin-4.5.0.2-all-languages to phpMyAdmin. Then copied the config.inc.php from phpMyAdminOld to phpMyAdmin folder. restarted apache. then it worked.

But now i get this error:

Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.67 differs from your MySQL server version 5.5.28. This may cause unpredictable behavior.
