Fix phpMyAdmin Showing 10.11 When 11.8 Is Installed

1. Fix CLI SSL error and see real server version

Run as root on the server:

# Allow mariadb client to connect without SSL (avoids ERROR 2026 when server has have_ssl=DISABLED)
mkdir -p /etc/my.cnf.d
printf '[client]\nssl=0\nskip-ssl\n' > /etc/my.cnf.d/cyberpanel-client.cnf
# If client still requires SSL, add [client] to main my.cnf (only if not already present)
grep -q '^\[client\]' /etc/my.cnf 2>/dev/null || echo -e "\n[client]\nssl=0\nskip-ssl" >> /etc/my.cnf

# Now this should work and show the *actual* server version on 3306
mariadb -e "SELECT @@version;"

• If it shows 11.8.x: the server is 11.8; phpMyAdmin should show 11.8 after you log out, clear cookies for :2087, then log in again via CyberPanel → Databases → phpMyAdmin.
• If it still shows 10.11.x: the process on 3306 is still 10.11. Force the 11.8 service to take over:

systemctl stop mariadb
sleep 3
systemctl start mariadb
mariadb -e "SELECT @@version;"

If it still shows 10.11, check:

rpm -q MariaDB-server
ss -tlnp | grep 3306
systemctl status mariadb

2. phpMyAdmin config (already correct on your server)

Your config.inc.php already has host = '127.0.0.1' and port = '3306'. Once the server on 3306 is 11.8 and you log in again via the panel, phpMyAdmin will show 11.8.
