Hi,
I have 3 Droplets all with ubuntu 18.04, Php 7.2.24, phpmyadmin ver. 4.6.6. Until yesterday phpmyadmin worked fine, but now it gives me HTTP Error 500. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with the servers - (not that i know of). Has anyone experienced the same?.
I have no problem using heidisql
Is there a safe solution to fix the problem. One of the servers is in production, and vulnerale to downtime.

SOLVED!!
After many hours i finally found what was wrong.
In /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php last line there was a “;” missing
$cfg[‘TempDir’] = ‘/usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp’; <-- ;
Hello, @lcgondellesm
I will recommend to examine the web server (Apache/Nginx) error_log in order to track down what exactly is causing the issue.
You can simply execute this command and then access phpMyAdmin in order to see the logged error message:
Apache on Ubuntu:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.logApache on On Centos:
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_logNginx on Ubuntu:
tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.logFeel free to share any logged messages here so we can investigate this further.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Thanks for you answer @alexdo , but there is nothing to see in the error.log . I checked the access log and can see I try to run /phpmyadmin.
