Table 'XXX.pma__tracking' doesn't exist - mysql

Question

I am very very confused right now, but somewhere along the lines phpMyAdmin has got confused.
SELECT tracking_active FROM `hutber`.`pma__tracking` WHERE db_name = 'hutber' AND table_name = 'exp_accessories' ORDER BY version DESC
#1146 - Table 'hutber.pma__tracking' doesn't exist
I cannot select db hutber, when I click on any of the tables i got the above error.
[Edit]
I then added the pma__tracking to the table and now I get this error:
SELECT tracking_active FROM `hutber`.`pma__tracking` WHERE db_name = 'hutber' AND table_name = 'exp_accessories' ORDER BY version DESC
#1054 - Unknown column 'db_name' in 'where clause'
How can I fix my DB?
mysql> SHOW TABLES; DESC pma__tracking;

Note: I created pma__tracking... Just so you know why the structure is like that.

Answer 1

1. #1146 - Table 'hutber.pma__tracking' doesn't exist
Since it is listed in SHOW TABLES; this could be a mysql permission issue (chmod, chown) in /var/lib/mysql. Ensure pma_tracking has the right permissions
chown mysql:mysql /path/to/mysql
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/mysql/
2. #1054 - Unknown column 'db_name' in 'where clause'
DESC pma__tracking; clearly shows that there is no column as 'db_name'
, 'version', 'table_name' as mentioned select query
