I have followed the directions, created a control user and database, ran the create_tables.sql script (after I modified it with the proper DB name), used the setup script to create a config file and filled out all the fields on the “Edit Server -> Configuration Storage” page. I moved the generated config file into the top level PMA directory.

I can use PMA fine, but the Configuration Storage features aren’t working. The foreign key fields aren’t hyperlinking to their respective entities in different fields. I’ve checked the configuration tables (pma_*), and they’re all empty except for pma_recent, which has two entries (login attempts or something?).

I should note that I built the DB before installing phpMyAdmin, so is there some script or something I have to run for it to scan the current tables and find the foreign keys/links?

Thanks!

    I always had the same problem. I could never get the pma configuration database to work. SQL history neither.

    Now phpMyAdmin has browser storage, which luckily works. Except it’s nagging me on every refresh [or new tab] to load the configuration from the browser storage.

    I just rely on the php config, and put everything in there.
