Mysql version is different in phpmyadmin

Question

I just upgraded my MYSQL version from 5.5.40 to 5.6.22 but my PHPMYADMIN still show the same old version on Home Page

In terminal I checked version
mysql --version ==> 5.6.22

But when I check with "select version()" command inside Terminal and PHPMYADMIN I got correct version 5.6.22

But on home page of PHPMYADMIN I get 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 - (Ubuntu)

In a post I read that there might be two mysql clients installed and may be phpmyadmin is referring to old client. If this is the case how can I delete old-client

Answer 1

Try removing php-mysql and installing php-mysqlnd. Will automatically done by following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nijel/phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd

sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install phpmyadmin

Or you can try reinstalling your phpmyadmin
