My problem was even simpler. I used the "show create table", but the result was truncated after a few characters.
PHPMyAdmin actually has a small "+options" link for the results, with simple parameters like "truncating the results." Just need to undo it!
If you want to edit the files mentioned by Torr, find:
config.default.php , in the "librairies" folder containing existing parametersconfig.inc.php where you have to copy / paste the ones you need.
