How to stop phpmyadmin from timing out after 1440 seconds

Normally you can add this line into the config.inc.php file, but for some reason on this particular server it's not working:

$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 9999999999;

I also found from googling that there is a setting within the web UI but on this particular one for whatever reason it's not there. All my other servers I was able to get this to work either via GUI or the config file but on this one none of those work.

Anything else I can try?

Phpmyadmin version is 5.0.4deb2+deb11u1

Yeah that's what I did and it usually works on all the other installs but for whatever reason not on this one.

Added line:
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 9999999999;

Still nothing.

Ok so I figured it out. Normally that file is in the root folder of the phpmyadmin script but on this particular installation it's in /etc/phpmyadmin/. I did not even realize there was such a folder.

I started to feel skeptical when I made a syntax error on purpose in the file and it never threw an error. The file I was editing was never being read.
