WampServer

I just updated MySQL from 5.6.21 to 5.6.22.

phpMyAdmin has a red circle with black X beside Server connection collation.
There's also a red circle with a question mark left of the banner, where is says Server: mysql.wampserver

What does this mean....I suspect something's not right, but don't know what?



Setup Information:
1 - Windows 8.1 Professional - 64 bit
2 - WAMPServer Version 2.5 - 64 bit
3 - Apache Version 2.4.9
4 - PHP Version 5.5.12
5 - MySQL Version 5.5.32, 5.5.40, 5.6.19, 5.6.21 (all working)
6 - WampServer icon is Green

Did you compare and WAMPSERVERise the my.ini file in the new install of MySQL??

Thank-you again, Sir RiggsFolly,

That was it!

I dropped that step from my MySQL upgrade instructions.

Is it OK to put softlinks pointing the 64 bit versions of mysql[version]/data directories to the 32 bit versions of these?

It seems like this would reduce the maintenance of databases in half.

I believe I read somewhere that the databases are compatible between the 32 and 64 bit versions.

However I cannot guarantee that.

Also dont mix MySQL versions and the same data i.e. dont let MySQL 5.5.x and MySQL5.5.y try and manage the same actual databases. And definitely not MySQL5.5.x and MysQL5.6.y I fyou follow me

Thanks, RiggsFolly,

Yes, I follow you.

Your helping my accelerate my installs...

I have 32 bit and 64 bit both up and running now on Windows 8.1.

Yeah!!!!!

I guess the real test is when I get my full WEBSites up....which I think I'm close.

Oops, I still need to get virtual hosts configured on 32 bit, but this should be no problem.
