MySQL not showing databases created in phpMyAdmin

Question

I'm trying to build a database for my server in phpmyadmin but when I finish building it I can't access it using PHP and it won't show when I list the databases in MySQL. But when I create a database in mySql it shows up in phpmyadmin. Also I'm running phpmyadmin version 4.0.3, and theres a statement at the bottom of the page saying The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. To find out why click here.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I just had the problem, and realized that I was creating database with names with '_test' suffixes.

It happens that phpmyadmin has a feature to hide some DBs. To change that behaviour, you can navigate to : settings > features > general > Hide databases

By default, hiddent databases have these patterns : information_schema|mysql|performance_schema|test|phpmyadmin

If you Still don't see it, Try to logout and then log in again to cPanel or PHPMyAdmin. It worked for me.
