mysql django phpmyadmin timeout logout

In my local development Ubuntu box I use MySQL and phpmyadmin to work with the database.

Whenever phpmyadmin is idle for 1440 secs (24min) the session expires. I lose my place and have to login and start over.

I tried changing the $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600 * 9; inside config.inc.php but it still times out in 1440 seconds.

I have restarted everything and cleared the browser cache (Firefox history -> Clear recent history -> Cache -> Everything).

I'm not sure why the increased timeout does not take effect. What am I doing wrong?

Go to PHPMyAdmin in your browser

Settings > Features > Change the value of Login cookie validity > Saveenter image description here

NOTE: You will have to do this per session.
