Mysql – phpMyAdmin: The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated

MySQL

I'm getting this error in the main page of phpMyAdmin verson: 3.2.1deb1
The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.
When I click the link I get this report.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] ...    OK
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] ...     not OK [ Documentation ]
General relation features: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] ...   not OK [ Documentation ]
Display Features: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] ...     not OK [ Documentation ]
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] ...    not OK [ Documentation ]
Creation of PDFs: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] ...  not OK [ Documentation ]
Displaying Column Comments: Disabled
Bookmarked SQL query: Disabled
Browser transformation: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] ...  not OK [ Documentation ]
SQL history: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] ...  not OK [ Documentation ]
Designer: Disabled

I already used the script to create the tables.
I assigned the permissions to the pma user.
And everything is set in /etc/phpmyadmin/conf.inc.php

But it's still not working…
The tables are empty. I assume that they should have something.
I'm interested in the relations an history features.
Obviously I have read the documentation.
Maybe something else is unsetting those values?
Any toughs?

You simply need to log out of phpMyAdmin or remove the session cookies and reload once the changes are made.
