Answer 3

I had the same problem and it might look so easy but it solved my problem. I have tried all the solutions recommended here but there was no problem just a day ago. So I thought the problem might be about the Session data. I tried to stop and run apache and mysql services but it didn't work also. Then I realized there are buttons on phpMyAdmin just below its logo on the left side. The button next to "Home"; "Empty Session Data" solved all of my problems.

Answer 4

Commenting out this line worked for me: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin'; But I found several config.inc.php files on my computer because I had a couple installations of MySQL and php haha. I changed it by finding the one under Xampp by just clicking on the config button under Apache for the Xampp control panel then commenting out the line. //

Answer 5

Try this before anything else - 'clear your cache'. I had the same issue. I was instructed to clear my cache. It worked.

Answer 6

I stumble upon this issue and I solved it just by logging out of phpMyAdmin and in again.

EXPLANATION

Take a look at the error message query:

SELECT command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table 'pma_table_uiprefs'

This happens due to MySQL denying access to user "" (blank) at server localhost. The default setting is to block all requests from anonymous users.

By logging out we force phpMyAdmin to "forget" the current user and let us input the login credentials for the MySQL server.
