phpmyadmin No tables found in database

Question

I'm sure that there are a lot of people facing my problem; I had copied the data folder inside mysql on the hard disk, then format my computer, then I have pasted the data folder, then all databases shows the number of tables, and when I make query show tables.

Its showing all tables inside database, but when I try to access the tables, it's showing table does not exist?

Please, I have a lot of projects, can any body help me? Note that there was no password on the previous version and the user was root as now. Please help.

Answer 1

I did not move any database file, but I had the same error message "No tables found in database" within PhpMyAdmin . But I could access the database by sql. I found out that it was caused by the browser. Using another browser or a private window helped. Did not try a restart or deleting cache so far.

Answer 2

Probably a duplicate: MySQL Table does not exist error, but it does exist

But moving files is not the way to save the database,best way is the export,import.

If your phpMyAdmin no longer sees any tables in any of your local databases, that is because permissions change away from mysql.mysql on any database directory under /var/lib/mysql to, say, root.root (most probably).

You will have to change the owner from root.root to mysql.mysql , to do this, youâll need root access and putty. Key in this command:

chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql/
