Symptoms
- Plesk Obsidian running on a Linux-based operating system
- Several database users are created and they are correctly configured to have access to all databases for the domain
-
For one specific database user, only one specific database is opened each time when accessing any of the different databases he has permissions to access via Plesk > Domains > example.com > Databases > press on phpMyAdmin for any of the databases
Cause
The config_data column of the pma__userconfig table within the database named phpmyadmin for the affected user contains "Server/hide_db" and "Server/only_db":"db_name" among other configurations, which are responsible for this behavior:
MariaDB [phpmyadmin]> select * from pma__userconfig where username="admin";
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| username | timevalue | config_data |
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| admin | 2023-10-20 12:22:56 | {…,"Server/hide_db":"","Server/only_db":"wp_example",…} |
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+Resolution
In order to resolve the issue, you would need to update the config_data for the affected database user within the phpmyadmin database by following these steps:
1. Log into the server via SSH as the root user
2. Make a database backup for the phpmyadmin database:
# plesk db dump phpmyadmin > /root/plesk_phpmyadmin_dump.sql
3. Enter MariaDB:
# plesk db
4. Switch to the phpmyadmin database:
use phpmyadmin;
5. Check the current config_data for the selected database user name (admin in the example below) by executing the following command:
select * from pma__userconfig where username="admin";
The output would be similar to the following:
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| username | timevalue | config_data |
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| admin | 2023-10-20 12:22:56 | {…,"Server/hide_db":"","Server/only_db":"wp_example",…} |
+----------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+6. Remove the Server/hide_db" and "Server/only_db":"db_name from theconfig_data options for the affected user and leave all others by using a command that is similar to the following:
update pma__userconfig set config_data='"Console/Mode":"collapse"' where username='admin';
7. Exit MariaDB
exit
