Thanks in advance.

Am using ubuntu 16.04 phpmyadmin-version 4.5.4.1 mysql 5.7.17 php 7.0

Answer 1

put the url http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ remove rest of the path and query string

It should take you to the login page

Try loging in again

This is because the phpmyadmin is not able to authorize the token passed

Answer 2

Workaround

Download and replace files for Linux and for Windows .

For Linux

PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin/libraries/common.inc.php

PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin/libraries/php-gettext/gettext.inc ,where PRODUCT_ROOT_D is /usr/local/psa/ for RHEL-based systems, and /opt/psa/ for Debian-based systems.

For Windows

%plesk_dir%\\admin\\htdocs\\domains\\databases\\phpMyAdmin\\libraries\\common.inc.php

%plesk_dir%\\admin\\htdocs\\domains\\databases\\phpMyAdmin\\libraries\\php-gettext\\gettext.inc

Change the below code in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/sql.lib.php

function PMA_isRememberSortingOrder($analyzed_sql_results)
{
return $GLOBALS['cfg']['RememberSorting']
    && ! ($analyzed_sql_results['is_count']
        || $analyzed_sql_results['is_export']
        || $analyzed_sql_results['is_func']
        || $analyzed_sql_results['is_analyse'])
    && $analyzed_sql_results['select_from']
    && ((empty($analyzed_sql_results['select_expr']))
        || (count($analyzed_sql_results['select_expr']) == 1)
            && ($analyzed_sql_results['select_expr'][0] == '*'))
    && count($analyzed_sql_results['select_tables']) == 1;
}
