$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] ... not OK
Persistent favorite tables: Disabled
Is the message I get when starting PHPmyAdmin 4.3.8.
1) This line has been added to config.inc.php
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite';
2) The table pma__favorite has been created.
3) In the documentation I cannot find information on what the content of the table should be. Nor can I find anything about:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite';
So, what do I need to do to get rid of the message
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] ... not OK
Persistent favorite tables: Disabled
It seems to be missing from the documentation however you can find a reference to it in config.inc.sample.php:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['favorite'] = 'pma__favorite';
Copy and paste that into your config.inc.php. If you still have errors, the pma__favorite table was likely not created. It can be done either by importing examples/create_tables.sql or executing the following which I copied from there:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `pma__favorite` (
`username` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`tables` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`username`)
)
