Moodle Configuration error in mysql version update

I am configuring Moodle 2.8.1 version. while configuring it loads a page where Server Checks are validated. I have sorted all the errors and now it is displaying only one server check error which is mysql (5.0.81-community-nt) version 5.5.31 is required and you are running 5.0.81 where I have installed newer version of PhpMyAdmin which is: ![enter image description here][1] But I don't understand why moodle gives me error like: ![enter image description here][2] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/GObbh.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/iLuZY.png It says I am running mysql version 5.0.x but I have installed a newer version of MySQL which is 5.6.x
