'Failed to generate random CSRF token! (phpmyadmin 4.6.4)

I installed newest versions of MySQL, IIS (on windows 10) and PHPMyAdmin.

But PHPMyAdmin 4.6.4 returns an error:

Failed to generate random CSRF token!

If I use PHPMyAdmin 4.0.4.1 I can connect to my local mysql server.

How can I fix this problem in PHPMyAdmin 4.6.4 (on windows IIS)?

Solution 1:[1]

modify php.ini :

session.save_path = "c:\session"

grant modify c:\session permission to USERS

run command: iisreset

Solution 2:[2]

royhutw is kind of right.

The default session.save_path is C:\Windows\Temp. If you're getting this error IIS probably doesn't have permissions to create a session file there.

Only thing you'll have to do is give "IUSR" modify permissions on this folder and reload your phpMyAdmin page.

I will write here, maybe it will be useful to someone. I have a similar problem but with mysql 8 on debian 9 and sometimes I get an error token. This kind of stupid solution works for me: I change the line in php.ini:

session.save_path = "/ var / lib / php / sessions"

For anything, later I run:

sudo service apache2 restart

And once again I change the exchange line above to the correct one and reset again and I can log in to phpmyadmin ...

In the web browser, manually delete the entry "phpMyAdmin", it will be solved easily. For mine it worked!
