phpmyadmin getting HTTP 500 error

Posted on May 17, 2018

Hey!

Yesterday phpmyadmin was working fine in my server, but today it’s getting a 500 error.

[Thu May 17 20:15:17.277309 2018] [:error] [pid 27295] [client 77.54.126.86:6883] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function __() in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/core.lib.php:245\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/session.inc.php(100): PMA_fatalError('Error during se...')\n#1 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/common.inc.php(357): require('/usr/share/phpm...')\n#2 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php(12): require_once('/usr/share/phpm...')\n#3 {main}\n  thrown in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/core.lib.php on line 245

Not sure what happened or what I did!

Using Apache2 and Ubuntu 16.04

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

You can do that by adding a php info file in your phpmyadmin directory:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
