 * Hi, I see a warning from Woocommerce -> status -> Server environment -> MySQL
   version: **5.5.5 – We recommend a minimum MySQL version of 5.6**.
 * However, when i check my system mysql -V, the output as follow.
    `mysql Ver 15.1
   Distrib 10.1.25-MariaDB`
 * Which seems to be my system is using MariaDB 10+ and it is recommend by the [wordpress requirement](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/).
 * Kindly please advise any action needed for this warning?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * you can safely ignore this warning. We are adding a small fix to MySQL version
   notice in 3.4.1 to handle MariaDB better.

    I have the same problem. My WooCommerce does not work correctly and keeps
   giving this error message.

   requirements

    The server is MariaDB 10.1.13, which has features of both > MySQL 5.6 and
   5.7

 * [@mbgibson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbgibson/) are you running WooCommerce
   3.4.1? What exactly do you mean by “My WooCommerce does not work correctly”?

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
