Increase or extend phpmyadmin session/login time in Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10
To increase the loging time of phpmyadmin edit :
/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Add the following line :
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600 * 9;
To make the login time 9 hours.
Along with this also check session.gc_maxlifetime in php.in to be higher than or equal to this value. Otherwise session time will be the lower of the two values.
