I'm putting the finishing touches on my first WAMP stack manual install, and am not sure how to proceed.

I'm running:

  • Apache 2.2.21
  • PHP 5.2.17
  • MySQL 5.1.56
  • phpMyAdmin 3.4.7.1

I realize some of those are not the most up-to-date, but I'm trying to mirror a webhost setup for development purposes.

The Problem: phpMyAdmin is reporting my MySQL server version and client versions are not the same:

MySQL
Server: localhost via TCP/IP
Server version: 5.1.56-community
Protocol version: 10
User: root@localhost
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

Web server
Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) PHP/5.2.17
MySQL client version: 5.0.51a
PHP extension: mysqli

How do I make the MySQL client version match my server version? or does that not even matter?

Upgrading to PHP 5.3 would be one way to solve this as it comes with newer MySQL client libraries.

This is something I will do very soon. But first I wanted to get my WAMP stack up and running smoothly with the current config as a learning experience, which it has been. Then I'll flip over to PHP 5.3, as will my webhost on request. – Andrew H Dec 6 '11 at 1:10
