+# How to change PHP execution limit for phpMyAdmin in OpenPanel
+
+phpMyAdmin runs on [PHP version that user sets as default php version](/docs/panel/advanced/server_settings/#set-default-php-version) in OpenPanel. 
+
+But due to [phpmyadmin minimum requirements](https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/require.html#php), if PHP version is less than 8.0 then [the default php version defined by the administrator](/docs/admin/settings/openpanel/#other-settings) will be used instead.
+
+To increase limits for the phpMyAdmin interface, edit the php.ini file of the version it is running on.
+
+### Step 1. Check PHP version
+
+There are 2 ways to check which PHP version is the phpMyAdmin interface running:
+
+1. From phpMyAdmin interface
+
+Login to phpMyAdmin from the OpenPanel interface and note the version under 'Server Settings':

+
+2. From OpenPanel > Process Manager
+
+Login to OpenPanel and navigate to Process Manager to view under which PHP version is the phpMyAdmin interface running.

+
+### Step 2. Edit php.ini file
+
+From OpenPanel navigate to Server Settings > PHP > PHP.INI editor and select that PHP version. Then make the changes, for example increase PHP `max_execution_time` value, and click on save to apply changes.

+
+### Step 3. Kill phpMyAdmin processes
+
+Since phpMyAdmin is running in its own webserver, we need to terminate its current processes in order to start it again with the new limits applied.
+
+To do this, navigate to OpenPanel > Process Manager and kill all processes that mention phpMyAdmin.

+
+### Step 4. Start phpMyAdmin
+
+Finally, start phpMyAdmin again with new limits, by opening phpMyAdmin from the OpenPanel menu.

+Limits have been increased and you can proceed.
