- download
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/
- extract in temp folder
- make backup /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
- copy from your temp folder to /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
- check permissions
And you can add patch -

Thank you.
What is the permision of the folder phpMyadmin, should it be root:root?
Second, ive succesfully updated phpmyAdmin but i encountered blowfish error again, i checked the config at /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php blowfish key already exist.
Then i checked the folder /user/share/phpMyAdmin there's a file called sample.config.inc
I renamed that to config.inc.php and added blowfish key, then it works.
Did i do the right thing ? Because it's supposed to read the file to /etc/PhpMyadmin now its reading it from /user/share/phpMyAdmin now /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php is useless because its not being read.
Thanks!

4.5.x version have this blowfish stange behavior.
In older version I don't remember this.
You did right.

Perhaps there is a difference between installing from the package and from the website. I think it's not so important. In ideal world in /etc/phpmyadmin should be simlynk to /usr/share/phpmyadmin, but there's no such thing. ;-)

There is couple of issues with these instructions you gave :
1. the setup for vestcp using phpmyadmin is different the config.php file is located in etc/phpmyadmin
https://vestacp.com/docs/#config-log-lo ... ian-ubuntu
so you need to copy this file to your usr/share/phpmyadmin folder
2. there is no TempDir location in the vesta config.php phpmyadmin
Vestacp setup phpmyadmin differently including even the way it's spelled. phpmyadmin not phpMyAdmin
updated instruction would be great thanks!
