phpmyadmin fails to load "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Class 'PMA_Message' not found in /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries/Message.class.php"

  • 772

After upgrading some of the php libraries on our server phpmyadmin failed to load.

I see the following error on my web browser when trying to access browser

phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

This is the error I see in the log files. 

tail -f /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/error.log
