Activating relation features in phpMyAdmin

[Aubech]

Hi-

In phoMyAdmin, it says that "The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been deactivated." I followed the link and tried to understand how to activate it. But here are some parts that I don't understand...

Quote:
If you are the only user of this phpMyAdmin installation, you can use your current database to store those special tables; in this case, just put your current database name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'].

Question:
how to "put your current database name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']"?? what does it mean?

and later it says I need to create a relation table. Again, it says "put the relation table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] ..... I don't understand how to do it...

Appreciate your help >_<!

You need to create the Database tables in the scripts folder of your phpmyadmin folder, then in your config.inc.php file look for and change these items

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']         = 'phpmyadmin';          // Database used for Relation, Bookmark and PDF Features
                                                    // (see scripts/create_tables.sql)
                                                    //   - leave blank for no support
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'phpmyadmin'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';          // Bookmark table
                                                    //   - leave blank for no bookmark support
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_bookmark'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation']      = 'pma_relation';          // table to describe the relation between links (see doc)
                                                    //   - leave blank for no relation-links support
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_relation'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info']    = 'pma_table_info';          // table to describe the display fields
                                                    //   - leave blank for no display fields support
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_table_info'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords']  =  'pma_table_coords';          // table to describe the tables position for the PDF schema
                                                    //   - leave blank for no PDF schema support
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_table_coords'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages']     = 'pma_pdf_pages';          // table to describe pages of relationpdf
                                                    //   - leave blank if you don't want to use this
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_pdf_pages'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info']   = 'pma_column_info';          // table to store column information
                                                    //   - leave blank for no column comments/mime types
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_column_info'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history']       =  'pma_history';          // table to store SQL history
                                                    //   - leave blank for no SQL query history
                                                    //     DEFAULT: 'pma_history'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose_check'] = false;        // set to FALSE if you know that your pma_* tables
