Chaning phpmyadmin timeout
OK I finally had anogth. I uses phpmyadmin fairly much as thats a god tool to use. I have talked about if before, how you use it to have ssh forwards ports and so for it here, but there has been one enoying thing left. TImeout. The default setting in the phpmyadmin systemis 1800 seconds (1/2 hour) and that is usually to short, so I end up logging in all the time. Ding some short checking and then back to programming.
So i investigared the system a bit and there is a config flags for this.
Add the following line to your config.inc.php file:
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600 * 4; // 4 hours
This will set the valid time for login to 4 hours – that shoud be ok for me atleast.
