phpmyadmin.pma_table_uiprefs doesn’t exist

You are missing at least one of the phpMyAdmin configuration storage tables, or the configured table name does not match the actual table name.

See http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#phpmyadmin-configuration-storage.

A quick summary of what to do can be:

1. On the shell: locate create_tables.sql.
2. import /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/examples/create_tables.sql.gz using phpMyAdmin.
3. open /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and edit lines 81-92: change pma_bookmark to pma__bookmark and so on.
