Stop phpMyAdmin from logging you out in your own local environment (Ubuntu)Stop phpMyAdmin from logging you out in your own local environment (Ubuntu)

stop timeout
extend php my admin session timeout expire session value
login cookie validity
ubuntu phpmyadmin remove timeout
vi /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
You may need to use sudo; vim will warn you if you try editing a read-only file.
Edit an existing LoginCookieValidity setting if any, or (as in our case) add the following to the bottom of the file.
(Note that in vim you can search with /LoginCookieValidity and, if finding nothing, go to the end of the file with :999 -- actually that's go to line 999 which is just as good in this case, there's a command to do it for real too). Then you can press i to insert text:
/*
* Prevent timeout for a week at a time.
* (seconds * minutes * hours * days)
*/
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 60*60*24*7;Then you can press escape to return to vim "normal" mode and :wq to write and quit.
This is what I use now... I don't mess around. In addition, on Ubuntu at least, you need to override the php.ini cookie validity length setting, see extra line below. Ignore the PHP tags, they are for formatting only.
<?php
/*
* Prevent timeout for a year at a time.
* (seconds * minutes * hours * days * weeks)
*/
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 60*60*24*7*52;
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $cfg['LoginCookieValidity']);
?>Thanks to Ubuntu forums.
