Removing or extending the phpMyAdmin timeout period

After opening a table with phpMyAdmin and working with it a while, the connection is dropped automatically after something like 5 minutes of inactivity.  Then I have shut down phpMYAdmin , reopen it, and go open my  table again, which is a real nuisance. No one else has access to this computer so I would prefer to leave the connection open until I shut down phpMyAdmin, or at least leave it open for 30 minutes or so.  Is there any way to do that?

Thanks

Standard PHP timeout is 1440 second (24 minutes) of inactivity.  That timeout gets reset any time you click on anything that accesses the server or reloads the page.  You have to have changed something to get it to be only 5 minutes.

Dan, could you tell me where config.inc.php is?

Thanks
Windows or Linux?

On Windows, just click Start and type the filename. You should get the location. Or install Search Everywhere.

On Linux, type this while root:
find / -name config.inc.php
