Setting icon and logout is missing from phpMyAdmin

Question

I am able to create users, but how can I log in to created users?

The setting icon and logout are missing from phpMyAdmin.

Answer 1

The logout button is only displayed with auth_type 'cookie' or 'http'; if yours is set to 'config' then the logout button won't display (because that wouldn't make any sense in that context as the user and password are hardcoded to config.inc.php.

Simply edit your config.inc.php and change the auth_type.
