[Case 132253] phpMyAdmin 4.2.9 requires MySQL 5.5 but cPanel can update to 11.46 with MySQL 5.1
Hello,
Thankfully, I only upgraded our test server from 11.44 to 11.46, however, when accessing phpmyadmin today as root, I get the message:
phpMyAdmin - Error
You should upgrade to mysql 5.5.0 or later.
I have been preparing our sites for this upgrade and testing them (and have run into issues, which is why the upgrade hasn't been done yet). Unfortunately, I am only allotted a set number of hours per week or the upgrade would have been done already.
Is there anyway to remove this error or downgrade back to 11.44? The ball was really dropped badly on this....I'm highly annoyed that I wasn't given a warning about this or prevented from upgrading to 11.46....I could quickly upgrade to mysql 5.5 on this server but I'm not done with testing and I'm not sure about all the sites it could break. I am thankful that I have auto-updating of cpanel off or this would have been a potential nightmare.
I can install an older version of phpmyadmin on a per site basis but don't want to have to do this for each server and am not sure how to have the old phpmyadmin version show up in each individual site account at port 2083 without installing each one manually. Annoyed and looking for advice. A lot of people still run mysql 5.1...yes I realize it's old but we should be warned before the upgrade.
If the easiest thing to do is force the upgrade to 5.5 and deal with broken sites, I may have to go that route. Thankfully, it's a test server but it's also a development server with client dev sites. Annoying to say the least.

Hello :) Internal case number 132253 is open to address the issue where phpMyAdmin 4.2.9 requires MySQL 5.5 but cPanel can update to version 11.46 with MySQL 5.1. A different version of phpMyAdmin will be provided so that it works with MySQL 5.1, but there is currently no specific time frame for it's publication (it likely won't be very long due to the nature of this flaw). I will update this thread with more information as it becomes available. Thank you. 0 -
Thank you for the quick update. I am in the process of installing phpmyadmin 4.1.x on a test site so our developers can access it but will wait for this update. 0 -
Is there any ETA for this patch? 0 -

Once you upgrade to version 11.46, you will not be able to downgrade to a previous version. Progress has been made on internal case number 132253, and a resolution is expected next week. Thank you.0 -
]I've managed to fix this. You need to install the suPHP extension and restart apache, and voil", it works.
In my environment I already have mod_suPHP compiled into apache, but still getting the infamous phpmyadmin error. Can you post more details how you managed this?0 -
Using suPHP is not considered a workaround. Per my previous post, progress has been made on internal case number 132253, and a resolution is expected next week. Thank you. 0 -
munin also stopped working with the update to WHM 11.46.0 (build 14) -. this sucks big time... edit: a restart of munin did solve it.... 0 -
11.46.0.17 Fixed case 132253: Downgrade phpmyadmin to 4.0.10.5. Thank you 0 -
@TanVliet: Thanks for mentioning this. I've just manually upgraded the server to the new version. 0 -
11.46.0.17 seems to downgrade everyone to PHPMyAdmin 4.0.10.5. At least it did on my server and I was running 4.2.9 just fine with MySQL 5.6. So Now I'm using a version from a year ago. 0 -

Per our Edge mailing list, here is our response: phpMyAdmin 4.2 does not support MySQL older than 5.5. Since we currently support 5.0, it simply isn't possible to use a newer version. Note that despite the downgrade, this version actually fixes some security bugs as well as one or two other bugs we've seen. brian m. carlson Release Marshal / cPanel, Inc.

I just took the discussion earlier in this thread that MySQL 5.5 and later would see phpMyAdmin 4.2 installed and earlier than 5.5 would see older phpMyAdmin versions installed so people up-to-date on MySQL would not be penalized by a lowest common denominator situation. Can the install process not handle and if then else for phpMyAdmin? 0 -

Since cPanel phpMyAdmin was downgraded to 4.0.10.5. I wanted to be sure cPanel admins knew there was a vulnerability in that version. A vulnerability present in in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.7, 4.1. x before 4.1.14.8, and 4.2.x before 4.2.13.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a long password.

Hello :) Yes, internal case number 144589 was opened to ensure phpMyAdmin is updated to 4.0.10.7. We monitor security reports and vendor releases. There is currently no specific time frame available on when this version will be included with cPanel. Thank you.0 -

Awesome. This is why we've been using cPanel for years... :) Thanks Michael.0 -
Any idea how long is cPanel going to stick with the 4.0 line of phpMyAdmin? Although it's still receiving security updates, it's now three generations out of date. phpMyAdmin 4.3 has lots of improvements. I understand that some servers are still on MySQL 5.0 or 5.1, but please provide a switch or downloadable package to choose between 4.0 phpMyAdmin and "release" 4.3 phpMyAdmin. 0 -
