[FIXED] Phpmyadmin: How to add permanent setting for exporting mysql gzipped by default

Issue

There is a setting under settings > export > compression for default compression method when you hit "export database" (I want gzip).

I cannot do it permanent. Every time I restart server it is set back to compression none method.

How to make this settings permanent using phpmyadmin config file?

Solution

Update config file config.inc.php in top-level directory.

Add string

$cfg['Export']['compression'] = 'gzip';
