So I just built a new CentOS 6.6 server. Decided to just to 6.6 and not 7.1 The very first virtual to install to test things was phpMyAdmin but it gives the error "phpMyAdmin requires MySQL version 5.5". So... is it possible to use yum to update MySQL? What can I do to get phpMyAdmin to work when there is a mismatch in SQL and the script on the server? Suggestions welcome.

You should be able to use Virtualmin to install an older version of phpMyAdmin which doesn't have this requirement - we include the option to run those older versions just for this reason.

Of course. OK, installed the "ancient" one. Thanks.
By the way, do you think I am making a mistake to build one more 6.6. I could scrub the machine before I put a live account on it and build a 7.1? I would like to think whatever I build will last for some years to come. Just curious as to what you would do or if it even matters so much. - Scott

I'd recommend going with the 7.x series - now that it is out, updates to 6.x will be few and far between. And many apps have dependencies on packages only found in 7.x.
