No tables found

Question

After installing phpMyAdmin on a server I logged in with the username and pw of an existing db. But now I can see just the name of that db that already exists (and "information schema" db), but I can't see the tables inside the existing table. I do see the tables inside "information schema". Did I forget something while installing phpMyAdmin?

Answer 1

Are you sure the login credentials you used have permission to access the tables? Permissions can be assigned to individual tables and may prohibit that user from seeing them. Login as root (if you can) and check that the permissions on those tables and the database are appropriate for the login you want to use.
