#1146 - Table 'phpmyadmin.pma__recent' doesn't exist It could happen that the phpmyadmin database doesn't exists and/or phpmyadmin is misconfigured. To fix the problem we just need to import the file "create_tables.sql" that can be found in (any) the phpmyadmin package inside the "examples/" folders. mysq -u root --password=mypassword < create_tables.sql
