My WAMP phpMyAdmin instance is now throwing a SHOW PLUGINS error on startup. It has never done this in the past, but now does this and will not start. Any ideas how to resolve this issue? I contacted support but haven't gotten a response back yet.
A:
Your MySQL user might not have enough permissions to access the temporary folder

A:
Show plugins is introduced in mysql 5.1+. If you are using a newer version of phpmyadmin 3.x with an older version of mysql 5.0 then you will get this error. Solution would be to upgrade mysql or downgrade phpmyadmin.
