Phpmyadmin: Upgrading phpMyAdmin in XAMPP to latest produces an error

[viking1972]

Steps to reproduce

I largely followed the "official-guide" on how to update, however, please read how I actually did in the description below:

1. download newest version of phpMyAdmin
2. in the xampp folder rename the old phpMyadmin folder to fx. phpmyadmin_old
3. remember to take a copy of confic.inc.php
4. copy the new folder containing the newly downloaded version of phpmyadmin to the xampp folder
5. insert the copy of confic.inc.php into the phpmyadmin folder
6. start the XAMPP control-panel
7. start the server
8. start MYSQL
9. click on the admin button in the MYSQL section

Expected behaviour

phpmyadmin should start as the new version

Actual behaviour

Fatal error: Call to undefined function PMAlibraries\PMA_langSet() in C:xamppphpMyAdminlibraries\Config.php on line 1021

Please try clearing your browser cache and removing phpMyAdmin cookies (which start with "pma") to see if that fixes the problem.

Hi

@ibennetch

[Problem solved]

I renamed the new back to phpmyadmin and started XAMPP control-panel again

When I tried to get into admin of the MYSQL section I got the error as I expected

Then I tried to CTRL+F5 (IE11) and this time I succeeded, so the root of the problem was with the browser's cache

Great, I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks for the report.
