WampServer

Windows 10
Wamp 3.1.6
PHP 7.3.0
Apache 2.4.37
phpMyAdmin 4.8.4
MySQL 8.0.13


I just upgraded MySQL. THE WEBSITE CONTINUES TO WORK FINE. However, phpMyAdmin is still attached to the older MySQL 5.7.23 and doesn't recognize MySQL 8. I need to perform the import of my site to complete the MySQL upgrade. Also, Apache continues to display the site correctly but I know it is from the older database since I have yet to complete the MySQL import into version 8. The MySQL version checkmark in WAMP is set to 8.0.13 and I have restarted services many times but phpMyAdmin and Apache both only recognize the older MySQL 5.7.23.

What steps am I missing to complete the MySQL upgrade to version 8.0.13?

Thanks for the advice.

After installing the upgrade, did you remember to switch to the new version?

Backup your database in 5.7.23.
Left click the Wampserver icon in the system tray.
Highlight MySQL --> Version --> check 8.0.13
Proceed to import your database in 8.0.13.

Hope this helps.

As stated in the initial problem statement, the MySql version checkmark is set to 8.0.13.

phpMyAdmin however, continues to access the previous MySQL version, 5.7.23. I am therefore unable to complete the MySQL upgrade and continue to display a fully functional website but from the older database. I cannot access the new MySQL version from phpMyAdmin.

Hi,

In the MySQL Console, what is the version number seen ?
- Left-Click -> MySQL -> MySQL Console Keep root as user
At the password prompt type the password you have for root - If no password just it enter.
In the MySQL console, you can see Server version 8.0.13

Enter password: **************
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 10
Server version: 8.0.13 MySQL Community Server - GPL
