Okay so I've recently upgraded php and phpmyadmin (via XAMPP) and when I log into phpmyadmin I now get

The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. To find out why click here.

When I click I get

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] ... not OK [ Documentation ]
User preferences: Disabled

I click on the documentation and get

set up pmadb and the phpMyAdmin configuration storage
put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig']

when I go to my config.inc.php I have the table set up already

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig';

I also have my user and password set up as well

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'password';

I thought to myself well, the ultimate way to test this is to log on as pma and see if I can add a record to the pma_userconfig table. I was able to log in and add a record to the pma_userconfig table with no problems. Now what?!

    Find out if there is a phpMyAdmin forum? That would seem to be a better place to ask questions about getting phpMyAdmin to work. Of course, it may be something to do with your whole setup, but I don't know what XAMPP's idea of a proper setup is.

      I ran both the upgrade and the create_tables sql files successfully. I also have the following set up in my config.inc.php

      $cfg['Servers'][$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]['hide_db'] = 'information_schema';

      Not sure if there's anything else that you're referring to...

        LOL, they closed the topic on Apachefriends because i took your suggestion (cross posting)... HA!

          Can someone close this topic? If someone closes this topic then I can post on Apachefriends as it would no longer be considered cross-posting. Thank you!
