Package: phpmyadmin Version: 4:3.2.2-1 Severity: normal
At the phpmyadmin home page, I see the warning that additional features related to linked tables have been deactivated. Following the link, I get $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] General relation features: Disabled $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] Display Features: Disabled $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] Creation of PDFs: Disabled $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] Displaying Column Comments: Disabled Bookmarked SQL query: Disabled Browser transformation: Disabled $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] SQL history: Disabled $cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] ... not OK [ Documentation ] Designer: Disabled Following the documentation for the linked tables infrastructure, I've created the pma user; imported create_tables.sql to create the pmadb; set all of the appropriate settings in config.inc.php; and restarted Apache. Nevertheless, I still get the same warnings at login. In config.inc.php, I have $i = 1; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'socket'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'thepassword'; $cfg['Servers'][$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'; In phpmyadmin, going to Privileges > pma > edit, I see that user pma has all except grant privileges on the phpmyadmin database. The phpmyadmin database has all of the tables named above, and they appear to have the right structure. Many people are reporting this problem around the net. The most commonly reported solutions are: (1) use a different browser than Firefox; (2) clear your browser cache and cookies; and (3) run 'dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin'. I've tried all of these solutions, and the problem remains. Aside: phpmyadmin has been the very definition of making MySQL easy to use. It's astonishing to me that for this particular component, the developers have made configuration so manual and hackish, with the result that an awful lot of people are struggling with it. There's *got* to be an automated way of setting this up for people. But, we can leave that for another day. Any help would be appreciated.
