<h1>Configuring phpMyAdmin<a class="headerlink" href="#configuring-phpmyadmin" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>There are many configuration settings that can be used to customize the
interface. Those settings are described in
<a class="reference internal" href="config.html#config"><span class="std std-ref">Configuration</span></a>. There are several layers of the configuration.</p>
<p>The global settings can be configured in <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> as described in
<a class="reference internal" href="config.html#config"><span class="std std-ref">Configuration</span></a>. This is only way to configure connections to databases and other
system wide settings.</p>
<p>On top of this there are user settings which can be persistently stored in
<a class="reference internal" href="setup.html#linked-tables"><span class="std std-ref">phpMyAdmin configuration storage</span></a>, possibly automatically configured through
<a class="reference internal" href="setup.html#zeroconf"><span class="std std-ref">Zero configuration</span></a>. If the <a class="reference internal" href="setup.html#linked-tables"><span class="std std-ref">phpMyAdmin configuration storage</span></a> are not configured, the settings
are temporarily stored in the session data; these are valid only until you
logout.</p>
<p>You can also save the user configuration for further use, either download them
as a file or to the browser local storage. You can find both those options in
the <span class="guilabel">Settings</span> tab. The settings stored in browser local storage will
be automatically offered for loading upon your login to phpMyAdmin.</p>
