Incorrect format parameter

Question

Currently, when I visit localhost/phpmyadmin, I am seeing the following error:

ERROR: Token Mismatch (In tooltip)

Incorrect format parameter

I will explain the changes I did step by step:

• I had xampp of version 1.7.1 installed.

• To upgrade it to latest, I renamed Xampp folder in c:// to "xampp_1" and took the group database backup in .sql format.

• From this link, I downloaded php_oauth-1.2.3-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip and copied the php_oauth.dll to c://xampp/php/ext/ and then in php.ini, I mentioned extension=php_oauth.dll.

• After this, I ran Apache server and Mysql through Xampp. then tried to import the sql backup file through CLI as follows:

    mysql -u root < localhost.sql
  

• I got some error in command prompt. (I will update this soon)

• Then later when I visited localhost/phpmyadmin, I am seeing this page:

Solution 1

Adding solution as a answer text so that the question drops from the Unanswered Questions list. Original answer is provided by the question author in a reply/comment on his original question text:

I uninstalled both 1.7.1 and 5.6.3 and then re-installed 5.6.3. That did the trick.

Solution 2

In my case this worked:

1. logout
2. clear url (remove all after ?, wspecially token=blablabla must be removed)
3. remove all cookies
4. refresh
5. login

This can't fix the problem basically as the same error may appear in any time

Solution 3

Find php.ini in the xampp

• 1- post_max_size: 128M (give a size for example 128)
• 2- upload_max_filesize : 64M (for example 64)

post_max_size must be larger than upload_max_filesize to fix the problem.

Solution 4

Reason: You are getting this error because size of your filename.sql is greater than maximum upload limit. (By default you can import upto Max:2,048KiB)

Solution:

1. Navigate to xampp\php\php.ini
2. Find upload_max_filesize and increase it to desired upload side (e.g. upload_max_filesize=128M) and save
3. Restart xampp

Solution 5

The problem is with the Post Maximum size, open the PHP.ini file and find the post_max_size=8M and increase it up to post_max_size=128M,

1.PHP.ini ->increase the post_max_size parameter from 8M up to 128M,

that's it.

this did not work for me, pulling latest stable phpmyadmin from git repo did fix my issues

[bikash.bilz]

Just hit this('localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php') url will work(no query strings)

[Deepak Keynes]

I just logged out of the phpmyadmin and relogged in !

[ValRob]

this is not a solution, you didnt identify the problem.

[Jared Clemence]

I disagree. A solution fixes a problem. Sometimes a problem is fixed without identifying the cause of the problem. In this case, the person who asked the question had a problem. After performing the step quoted above, he no longer had the problem. Other people looking for answers on how to fix a similar problem now have this as an option knowing that it worked before in at least one case.

This happened to me when the last action I performed before rebooting was an import. The import command was still in the URL the next time I opened the browser and tried to login.
