How to set my phpmyadmin user session to not time out so quickly?

This question already has an answer here:

• phpmyadmin automatic logout time

I work on my wamp for localhost backend development everyday.

I feel annoyed by phpmyadmin auto log out out quickly. Is there any way I could get rid of this or extend the timeout?

Where can I set this timeout value?

 Answers

To increase the phpMyAdmin Session Timeout, open config.inc.php in the root phpMyAdmin directory and add this setting (anywhere).

$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = <your_new_timeout>;

Where <your_new_timeout> is some number larger than 1800.

Note:

Always keep on mind that a short cookie lifetime is all well and good for the development server. So do not do this on your production server.
