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

Question

Having a problem opening any of my databases in phpMyadmin I tried deleting a lot of old, irrelevant databases and may have in the process deleted something I shouldn\'t hav

Answer 1

I had this issue when I switched from mysql to maraidb. The solution was to do the following, run the create tables script from the console.

Get to the terminal

   $ mysql -uroot -padmin

Then import the create phpmyadmin db and tables script, I got it from Oldskool's answer above. (READ it before running it)

 MariaDB [(none)]> source create_tables_phpmyadmin.sql;
 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

 Database changed
 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
 ...

In case of exists error you may clear your previous phpmyadmin db that you had tried adding.
