For me the db phpmyadmin was missing, you can find the file create_tables.sql inside the phpmyadmin installation in the sql/ directory. You can use this file to rebuild your table.

Be careful this will probably overrwrite your data, dont run it until you move your old phpmyadmin table, if you have one intact already.
