Token mismatch error in phpMyAdmin

 

This error can be due to many problems.

 

1) Disk quota of the account is exceeded

Check whether the disk quota of the account is exceeded using the following command:

#  df -h

Example:

Filesystem                             Size         Used       Avail        Use%      Mounted on

/dev/sda1                              75G         23G         49G         100%    /tmp

 

The error can be occurred because of /tmp partition is full on the server.

Solution

Remove the unwanted files and make the disk space available or allocate extra disk space to /tmp directory.

 

2) Incorrect permissions

Check permissions of server /tmp directory.

Check permissions of users /tmp directory.

Set the directory permission as 755 by using the following command:

# chmod 755 /home/username/tmp

 

3) Check “session.save_path” in php.ini file.

Open php.ini file.

# vi php.ini

Find the below line:

;session.save_path = “/tmp”

 

Remove the first semicolon from this line and set as:

  session.save_path = “/tmp”

Restart apache service.

  # service httpd restart
