The complete error message is:
The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. Find out why. Or alternately go to 'Operations' tab of any database to set it up there.
When I click on the Find out why link it takes me to: http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php?route=/check-relations
Which has this:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] ... OK
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] ... OK
General relation features: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] ... OK
Display Features: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] ... OK
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] ... OK
Designer and creation of PDFs: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] ... OK
Displaying Column Comments: Disabled
Browser transformation: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] ... OK
Bookmarked SQL query: Disabled
and more...
There is also this message at the top:
Create missing phpMyAdmin configuration storage tables.
However, clicking on Create doesn't seem to do anything. It momentarily shows "Loading" but nothing seems to change.
The quick steps show this:
Create the needed tables with the D:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\sql\create_tables.sql.
Create a pma user and give access to these tables.
Enable advanced features in configuration file (config.inc.php), for example by starting from config.sample.inc.php. Documentation
Re-login to phpMyAdmin to load the updated configuration file.
I completed the first step but I don't understand the rest. Is it easier to fix the issues or just uninstall and install a new version of Xampp?
I do want to keep all the development files and the databases in case I upgrade.
Thanks.
