Topic: MySQL version in System Diagnostics

Hello,

I did a fresh install for version 2.4.1, but upon running system diagnostics I get below warning (i believe).

Test
MySQL version >=4.1

Test type   
Required

Value   
10.1.23-MariaDB-1~xenial

Comments
Upgrade MySQL server to version at least 4.1


Could someone help me understand if it is something to worry about ?
Below are the details from my 'phpMyAdmin' dashboard.

Re: MySQL version in System Diagnostics

The installer needs to be modified to accommodate MariaDB.

You can ignore the Database Server Type in this case.

The corrections will need to be done in includes/system_tests.inc.
