title: phpMyAdmin error: Table doesn't exist in engine
body: <p>I installed XAMPP today on Ubuntu 14.04. I tried to create a new database in phpMyAdmin but received the error </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>#1932 - Table 'phpmyadmin.pma__tracking' doesn't exist in engine</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I Googled a bit and I saw I should import <code>create_tables.sql</code> located in <code>/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/example</code> (if I remember correctly, but I couldn't locate it there, but I did locate it in <code>/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/sql</code>. So I tried to import it, but I receive the same error.</p>
  
  <p>First I installed XAMPP 5.6.14 / PHP 5.6.14 twice, but no change. Then I installed XAMPP 5.5.30 / PHP 5.5.30, but still no change. I also tried changing the config.inc.php file (then I stop XAMPP and start it again).</p>
  
  <p>Note: I can see the phpmyadmin database and if I expand it I can see that all the tables that are giving problems, do exist:

  <p>I have no idea why this is happening or how to solve it. Can anyone please help?</p>
  
  <p>PS: I have seen that this question has been asked before, but none of the answers I found worked for me.</p>
