Filed with Developers [Case 22726] Preserve custom configurations of phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin

[Eli L]

Hey,

I have manually updated my phpMyAdmin version and I want to disable cpanel from rewriting my new version when there is an update for it from cpanel.

How do I do this?

Thank you.

I think Cpanel/WHM is not providing such a option to disable auto-update for myphpadmin however if you disable auto-updation of CPanel then myphpadmin will not update.

Auto-update can be disabled from WHM by updating Config file:

>> Main >> Server Configuration >> Update Config

Or you can remove cron setup for updating Cpanel.which is mentioned below

>> 13 0 * * * /scripts/upcp

Well I like my cpanel being updated, just not when it overwrites my even more updated apps

A dirty way to achieve this (if cpanel doesnt detect chattr and removes it) is to run:

for i in `find /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin` ; do chattr +i $i ; done

That will make all the files in that folder uneditable even by root in case anyone want to do this themselves.
