I'm installing Drupal 8 on my Centos 6 server. To do this I needed to upgrade both PHP and MySQL. However, I'm now getting the following error message:
The libmysqlclient driver version 5.1.54 is less than the minimum required version. Upgrade to libmysqlclient version 5.5.3 or up, or alternatively switch mysql drivers to MySQLnd version 5.0.9 or up.
How to upgrade the version of libmysqlclient as required?
In case anyone has the same problem, here's the solution I found.
The drupal-mysql package seems to use the 5.1 library, and I can't find any to override this.
However, switching to the drupal-mysqlnd package seems to resolve this.
In my case, the install command was:
yum install php56w-mysqlnd
Hope someone finds this useful.
