In the folder
.\xampp\phpMyAdmin there should be a file called
config_inc.php
If this file is missing or is a shortened version (compare the file size of the file config_default.php to be copied over below) then you can try the following as this approach is both simple and effective, as I mention below.
It also assures continuity as the default file has been used, in your case exclusively perhaps, up to this point.
Go to
.\xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries and find the file
config_default.php
Now copy this file to the phpMyAdmin root folder
.\xampp\phpMyAdmin and then rename it to
config_inc.php
Now do your phpMyAdmin configuration edits in the newly copied and renamed file - save the file and restart Apache after editing.
phpMyAdmin looks for
config_default.php in the
phpMyAdmin/libraries folder first then overrides this file with any differences it finds in the
config_inc.php file in the phpMyAdmin root folder - if no
config-inc.php file is found then phpMyAdmin simply uses the
config_default.php file only.
It is advised not to make any edits in the
config_default.php file hence the reason to copy over and rename it as I set out above which also simplifies the configuration process by not having to keep checking 2 different configuration files when editing.
I hope this helps to clear up the configuration file issue for you - you should now be able to find the column details for your original request.
