Are you having the “No tables found in database” error where accessing them via phpmyadmin is not possible while the websites or blogs runs perfectly without any problem? The pulldown correctly lists the number of tables next to the database name [example: "blogA (13)" and blogB (18)] in the pulldown.
If your phpMyAdmin no longer sees any tables in any of your local databases, that is because permissions change away from mysql.mysql on any database directory under /var/lib/mysql to, say, root.root (most probably).
Long story short, you have to change the owner from root.root to mysql.mysql, to do this, you’ll need root access and putty.
chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql/*
This will probably solve your problem after much searching and trial and error, not to mention growing a really long beard while waiting for your web hosting to figure out the problem, let alone replying you. Cheers.

what about mySQL under windows 7 ?
I’m having this exact problem on my MAMP server but I have no clue how to sort it. Can you explain to me how you change the permissions to mysql.mysql as i’m a super newb. Please explain it as you would to a child ;)
Thanks
Stu
@Stuart – Do you have access to root? Access your server as ‘root’ user and type the command line as shown above. That’s all.
It’s ok now, I found an alternative fix! I downloaded a ep plugin called lime export and exported my tables trough wp to an SQL file. Sites now live!
Hi there,
I followerd the instructions (changed the password from ‘root’ to mysql) and now I lost access to MAMP completely.
Please can you help me to fix it and get everything back?
I’m no expert so if you could give me step-by-step instructions it would great…
Thanks!
@Ciskut
I think you’re supposed to change the permission to ‘root’, not the password to ‘root’
Hi see…well now I know!
Thank you GeckoFly for your feedback.
i try to type the command line..
chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql/*
but still can’t fixed the priblem..please advise
@jo
Maybe the location of your MySQL is different from mine, I suspect it is not under the directory /var/lib/mysql/
Check with your web hosting company on the directory
Thanks,
I had no mysqldump, only a copy of the files in /var/lib/mysql.
regranting root.root worked for me.
