Change mysql version in phpMyAdmin

Question

I'm running wamp 3.1.0 WITH mysql 5.5.57 (downgraded from 5.7.19), yet phpmyadmin is still using 5.7.19, what do I need to do for phpmyadmin to use mysql 5.5.57?

Answer 1

Ok so it seems to have been a glitch. Wamp was showing 5.5 but still running 5.7 even after many restarts. It took several tries switching between mysql versions for it to actually change.

Answer 2

maybe you should ask this in superuser.com...

or just try in this order:

first of all backup your data!

1 - download the version of mysql that you want to install.

2 - Copy / Paste it in your folder C:\wamp\bin\mysql

3 - Close and run Wamp server again

4 - Left click the Wamp icon in your taskbar then Mysql > Version > 'select your version'

here is also old versions of wampserver:
