PhpMyAdmin configuration storage

Hello,

I've installed MariaDB 5.5.28 and PhpMyAdmin 3.4.10.1deb1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS. Now I'm trying to enable PMA configuration storage database but I can't seem to get it working.

I've uncommented the right lines in config.inc.php and added a controluser with the right permissions.

On almost every page in PMA I now get a warning telling me that PhpMyAdmin configuration storage is disabled. When I go the to the following link it says:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] … not OK [ Documentation ]
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] … not OK [ Documentation ]
General relation features: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] … not OK [ Documentation ]
Display Features: Disabled

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] … not OK [ Documentation ]

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] … not OK [ Documentation ]
Designer: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] … not OK [ Documentation ]
Tracking: Disabled
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] … not OK [ Documentation ]

I tried all solutions found on the internet but nothing really works which is giving me the feeling that it has something to do with MariaDB. As there isn't a lot of information about MariaDB and PMA configuration storage I'm trying it here.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
