#1146 - Table 'phpmyadmin.pma_recent' doesn't exist

Question

Solution Guys...

FYI i am using xampp to use phpmyadmin. and this error happens during the process of creating a database on localhost. Below is the code for config.inc file under phpmyadmin directory:

<?php /*  * This is needed for cookie based authentication to encrypt password in  * cookie  */ $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'xampp'; /* YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS FOR A MORE SECURE COOKIE      AUTH! */  /*  * Servers configuration  */ $i = 0;  /*  * First server  */ $i++;  /* Authentication type and info */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'HTTP'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; $cfg['Lang'] = '';  /* Bind to the localhost ipv4 address and tcp */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';  /* User for advanced features */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';  /* Advanced phpMyAdmin features */ $cfg['Servers'][$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]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['recent'] = 'pma_recent'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma_table_uiprefs';  /*  * End of servers configuration  */  ?> 

Answer 1

i've resolved with

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin 

Answer 2

You have to run the create_tables.sql inside the examples/ folder on phpMyAdmin to create the tables needed for the advanced features. That or disable those features by commenting them on the config file.
