Answer 1

resolving configuration storage problem in xampp in windows :

go to import tab in localhost/phpmyadmin and

browse xampp\phpMyAdmin\sql folder and select create_tables.sql and

then click go button

now phpmyadmin db added to your db list

now we must create user account for this db :

users tab and click add user

name : pma

password : pmapass

and click go

for privilege of this user create a file : pma_privileges.sql

with this content :

ON mysql.* TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT 
SELECT
( Host, User, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv, Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv, Index_priv, Alter_priv, Show_db_priv, Super_priv, Create_tmp_table_priv, Lock_tables_priv, Execute_priv, Repl_slave_priv, Repl_client_priv ) 
   ON mysql.user TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT 
SELECT
   ON mysql.db TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT 
SELECT
(Host, Db, User, Table_name, Table_priv, Column_priv) 
   ON mysql.tables_priv TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT 
SELECT
,
   INSERT,
   UPDATE
,
      DELETE
         ON phpmyadmin.* TO 'pma'@'localhost';

and import it by import tab

now we create db and user with privilege so now

we must add them to config.inc.php file in xampp\phpMyAdmin folder

so add these :

    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'pmapass';
    
    /* Storage database and tables */
    $cfg['Servers'][$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]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma__table_uiprefs';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma__tracking';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma__userconfig';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['recent'] = 'pma__recent';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['users'] = 'pma__users';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups'] = 'pma__usergroups';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['navigationhiding'] = 'pma__navigationhiding';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['savedsearches'] = 'pma__savedsearches';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['central_columns'] = 'pma__central_columns';

now restart the mysql and browser and the configuration storage error disappear and

columns after comment in creating table are visible
