phpMyAdmin configuration is normally stored in config.inc.php and the location of the file varies depending on the distribution.
The table below lists some of the possible locations.
| Platform / Distribution | Location |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu / Debian | /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php |
| RedHat / CentOS | /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php |
| Web download | {base installation directory}/config.inc.php |
If the config.inc.php does not exist or if a specific configuration is absent from the file, default values are used instead.
