Vestacp how to fix phpmyadmin blank page after upgrading PHP
Believe it or not, I spent over an hour trouble shooting how to fix a phpmyadmin blank page after I had upgraded from php 5.4 to 5.5. its as simple as: assigning write privileges to the php session folder "/var/lib/php/session". Every time phpmyadmin page is opened, it has to write a session cookie in that folder.
For some reason after upgrading php, the session folder lost its write privileges. So Phpmyadmin was unable to create a session cookie, hence the blank page. To fix the problem you can either use putty terminal and assign write privileges to the folder "/var/lib/php/session" by using this comman:# chmod -777 /var/lib/php/session or use your FTP program like filezilla to assign write proviledges. I think this solution also works for many other instances of phpmyadmin blank page.

Try to upgrade phpmyadmin to v4.5.5.1 (this version compatible with PHP 5.5 to 7.0 and MySQL 5.5 http://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ ).
In my case it was helpful.
