Question 63762 in PhpMyAdmin Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Why did phpMyAdmin stop working after upgrading Ubuntu to 22.04?

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and now my phpadmin won’t load. I get this following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘static’ (T_STATIC) in /usr/share/php/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/ContainerBuilder.php on line 272

I opened up the file, and here is the specific code in that segment.

public function addResource(ResourceInterface $resource): static
{
    if (!$this->trackResources) {
        return $this;
    }

   if ($resource instanceof GlobResource && $this->inVendors($resource->getPrefix())) {
       return $this;
    }

    $this->resources[(string) $resource] = $resource;

   return $this;
}

Yesterday before the upgrade, everything was working fine. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Since version 8.0, PHP allows static as a return type for class methods. Apparently your PHP version was downgraded.

    You have to check your phpmyadmin version Coz in php 8.* version phpmyadmin 5.* version will be required.

    Yes, it’s a pain if you are running a PHP version prior to 8, such as 7.*.
    Download 5.2 here and install it.

    Completely purge your previous version and secure the directory where you install it (depends on your web server). That Symfony component ruined everything (line 272).

    • upgrade php to 8.x
    • switch php version in apache:
    cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
sudo rm php7.4.conf
sudo rm php7.4.load
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php8.0.load php8.0.load
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/php8.0.conf php8.0.conf

    at the end, restart apache:

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    If you are using opcache preloading, you might be suffering from conflicts between phpMyAdmin’s Symfony namespaces and those of your own app. My workaround for this is to run phpMyAdmin on a different version of PHP
