I test phpmyadmin 5.0.4 and 5.1.0.RC1 on ubuntu server 20.04, and I’m geeting the following error :
Warning in ./libraries/classes/Config.php#1285

I’ve try to change owner of my ./libraries/classes/Config.php and /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp/twig (created this folder "twig" too) by www-data (original "root"), but error wasn’t resolved.
my vendor config is :

Had same issue. Solved it by:
Open
vendor_config.php
:Press CTRL + W and search for TEMP_DIR
Change line to:
Press CTRL + W and search for CONFIG_DIR
Change line to:
Save file and exit. (Press CTRL + X. Press Y and then press ENTER)
Select the installed version: https://www.phpmyadmin.net/files/
Extract and replace the
/libraries/classes/Config.php
file with existing one.Thanks & Regards.

/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

.When you install
phpmyadmin

is owned bywww-data
by default.Thus, if you changed apache default user, it can’t write in this dir.
Fix is rather easy :
