Can't see created databases

Question

I've got two problems with EasyPHP (probably related).

1) If I create the database in PhpMyAdmin I can't see it in the navigation panel or in the "Database" page. the database exists because I can make query on it and it conflicts with other CREATE instructions (using the same name). I supposed it was a configuration (permission?) problem so...

2) Going to tray icon, right click on easyPHP icon, then "Configuration->PhpMyAdmin" I obtain "Object not found" error for the URL http://127.0.0.1/home/mysql/.

I use win8.

Thank you.

EDIT: I tried to update to PhpMyAdmin 4.1.12, but nothing happened.

Answer 1

I finally found the solution! In config.inc.php configuration file, I changed this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '(mysql|information_schema|performance_schema|test|phpmyadmin)';

With:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '^(mysql|information_schema|performance_schema|test|phpmyadmin)$';

Now it works fine!

Answer 2

if you create a database with the string "test" in it, it will hide, because of the line in the accepted answer. I removed "test" from this line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '^(mysql|information_schema|performance_schema|test|phpmyadmin)$';

and the database showed up.

Answer 3

The solution you gave didn't really work in my case so I tried commenting the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = ' ' line, as its only purpose is to hide the "default" DBs used to make the whole system function correctly. When I did, all the databases showed in the PhpMyAdmin dashboard.

DISCLAIMER: Using this method allows you to DROP and ALTER system databases, which can result in PhpMyAdmin not working anymore. If you ever need to comment this line, be sure not to ALTER any of the said databases afterwards.

Reminder: the databases which must remain untouched are :

• information_schema
• mysql
• performance_schema
• test
• phpmyadmin
