PHP 7.2.5+ is required.

Most likely you did not run Composer to ' . '[' . 'install library files](https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-from-git).

What PHP version are you running? can you give me details on version is it?

PHP 7.2.5+ is required. - you must be running a version that is lower than 7.2

Also what phpMyAdmin version are you using ?

It may seem like your webserver is not handling php files ?

I'm running php 8.1.5

Here is a screenshot of phpmyadmin version

I uninstalled mysql database from kali and I'm now using xamp(lampp). But I still wanna know what happened with my issue and how I can solve it once I reinstall mysql

Hi @hdawg12
Your phpMyAdmin is running fine, what is the error you are getting ?

[hdawg12]

when I use my ip address as the host I get this error:

Here is my settings from my config.inc.php fil

I have the same issue today. After clearing the browser(Firefox) cache (or open in the private window), it is working fine now.

This is quite strange @lotus551tw

Hi @hdawg12

when I use my ip address as the host I get this error:

Can you connect with the MySQL CLI ?
Does root have no password ?

I tried clearing my cache, but that didn't work either. Right now I'm using lampp and it seems to be working. I uninstalled mysql from Kali so I don't have that anymore, but if I reinstall it I wonder if I will still have the same issue?

Hi @williamdes ,

I'm using lampp now and it seems to work. I had to go into phpmyadmin and create a username and password. Now I'm able to login using my IP address instead of localhost. I had to uninstall mysql from my Kali, but I don't know why it wasn't working in the first place.

Hi !
I am glad this one is solved now, thank you for keeping us updated

On a Debian 11 12, after apt install phpmyadmin (v4:5.2.1+dfsg-1., which installs PHP 8.2.7; also set MySQL application password for phpmyadmin), on mysite.com/phpmyadmin I'm getting:

PHP 7.2.5+ is required.

Currently installed version is: ' . PHP_VERSION . '
'); } // phpcs:disable PSR1.Files.SideEffects define('PHPMYADMIN', true); // phpcs:enable require_once ROOT_PATH . 'libraries/constants.php'; /** * Activate autoloader */ if (! @is_readable(AUTOLOAD_FILE)) { die( '

Most likely you did not run Composer to ' . '[' . 'install library files](https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-from-git).
' ); } require AUTOLOAD_FILE; global $route, $containerBuilder, $request; Common::run(); $dispatcher = Routing::getDispatcher(); Routing::callControllerForRoute($request, $route, $dispatcher, $containerBuilder);

Not sure if I should file a bug or create a new question.

Hi @pabloab
You are probably missing libapache2-mod-php
And restarting apache2
Can you check?
You should open a new issue to discuss this if still unsolved :)

[pabloab]

Thanks @williamdes ! I installed libapache2-mod-php (also installs libapache2-mod-php8.2). It wasn't installed. It seems it restarts apache2 automatically, as shown on sudo systemctl status apache2.service. Everything's working fine.

Shouldn't therefore be libapache2-mod-php package a dependency of phpmyadmin?

It is now since Debian bookworm
See https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/phpmyadmin
It should also show on apt info phpmyadmin

Sorry, I was working on Debian 12, not 11. As shown there and on terminal, it is a recommended package, not mandatory. Would be great a warning on dpkg log, or at least a better message. I was searching around PHP Composer.

Indeed, sorry, I need to make a better message for my Debian/Ubuntu users on the page that displays php code to the user
composer should not be used for Debian/Ubuntu installs
