phpMyAdmin advanced features are not fully configured and some features are not activated

 Create a database called 'phpmyadmin' and setup phpMyAdmin configuration storage there.

When you are using phpMyAdmin When you encounter the message "Advanced features are not fully set up, some features are not activated" when configuring phpMyAdmin, this may mean that phpMyAdmin has detected that some configuration or settings are incomplete or incorrect. This usually happens when:

1. Some dependencies or PHP extensions are missing:phpMyAdmin may require specific PHP extensions or other dependencies to enable all features. For example, it may require the mysqli extension to communicate with a MySQL database. Please make sure that all necessary extensions are installed in your PHP environment and that they are properly configured and enabled.

2. phpMyAdmin configuration file problem: Check the phpMyAdmin configuration file (usually config.inc.php or config.sample.inc.php) is correctly configured. Make sure it contains the correct database connection information, authentication method, and other necessary configuration options.

3. Permission issues: phpMyAdmin may need access to certain directories or files to run advanced features. Please make sure that the web server user (such as Apache's www-data user) has appropriate permissions to the phpMyAdmin directory and its subdirectories.

4. Database permissions issue: If phpMyAdmin cannot perform certain actions, it may be because the user connected to the database does not have sufficient permissions. Make sure that the user connected to the database has sufficient permissions to perform the required actions.

5. phpMyAdmin version issue: Some features may only be available in newer phpMyAdmin versions. Try upgrading phpMyAdmin to the latest version to ensure you get the latest features and fixes.

• Check the phpMyAdmin error log or the PHP error log to find more information about what went wrong.
• Check the phpMyAdmin official documentation or community forums for possible solutions or suggestions.
• If the problem persists, consider reinstalling phpMyAdmin, making sure all steps are followed correctly and using default configurations whenever possible to rule out possible configuration issues.
