I just updated php and phpmyamdin and got these errors.

Warning in ./libraries/classes/Config.php#1681
 mkdir(): Permission denied

The $cfg['TempDir'] (/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/tmp/) is not accessible. phpMyAdmin is not able to cache templates and will be slow because of this.

I've tried making the directory and it didn't work and changing the permissions to 777 is a terrible fix and I don't wanna do that. Also I am on linux Manjaro gnome

Fix it with this simple fix. https://stackoverflow.com/a/66016297/11251368

Also how do I tag as anwsered?

Answer 1

I made this directory: /usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/tmp/twig and worked for me

Answer 2

I solved this problem by giving permission 777 (rwx) to tmp directory:

1. go to tmp:

cd /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp

or as you have here:

cd /usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/tmp

2. and do this:

sudo chmod 777.
