Upgrade phpMyAdmin, PHP & MySQL

[rsthomas]

Although Sentora automatically installs phpMyAdmin, it appears to be an old version:
Version information: 4.0.10.1, latest stable version: 4.7.0

How do we upgrade to the latest version? I read a post by TGates about upgrading phpMyAdmin, but since it was 1 1/2 years old I want to make sure I am getting the latest advice.

Also, how can we tell which version of MySQL and PHP is installed, and how are they upgraded? I understand there is a warning regarding PHP 7.0, but I assume the previous version is safe to use with Sentora.

The reason for my interest in upgrading is I am getting errors while trying to import some databases from my previous cPanel web hosting service:
1.) ALTER TABLE error -- from SeoToaster CMS.
2.) No data was received to import. Either no file name was submitted, or the file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration. -- from OsCommerce (file size 6,448 KB). Meanwhile, the database from an older version of OsCommerce imported fine.

I am assuming the above issues have something to do with a particular version of phpMyAdmin, PHP or MySQL.

You can upgrade manually php my admin.

But take big care for php & MySQL as you will likely break your setup. We don't advice for that.
