Setting Up phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage:

1. Import create_tables.sql from phpMyAdmin’s examples folder to MySQL. When upgrading from a previous phpMyAdmin installation then import upgrade_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql before importing create_tables.sql.
2. Create user `pma` and grant access to the database `phpmyadmin` GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON `phpmyadmin`.* TO ‘pma’@’localhost’;
3. Uncomment phpMyAdmin configuration storage settings in config.inc.php/*
   /* Storage database and tables */
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘pmadb’] = ‘phpmyadmin’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘bookmarktable’] = ‘pma__bookmark’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘relation’] = ‘pma__relation’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘table_info’] = ‘pma__table_info’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘table_coords’] = ‘pma__table_coords’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘pdf_pages’] = ‘pma__pdf_pages’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘column_info’] = ‘pma__column_info’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘history’] = ‘pma__history’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘table_uiprefs’] = ‘pma__table_uiprefs’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘tracking’] = ‘pma__tracking’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘userconfig’] = ‘pma__userconfig’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘recent’] = ‘pma__recent’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘favorite’] = ‘pma__favorite’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘users’] = ‘pma__users’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘usergroups’] = ‘pma__usergroups’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘navigationhiding’] = ‘pma__navigationhiding’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘savedsearches’] = ‘pma__savedsearches’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘central_columns’] = ‘pma__central_columns’;
