#1193 - Unknown system variable 'lc_messages' when trying to login to phpmyadmin
<p>I have recently installed MySQL and phpMyAdmin, but when I try to login to phpMyAdmin with the root credentials I get the following error for this query:</p>

<p>SQL query:</p>

<pre><code>SET lc_messages = 'en_US';
</code></pre>
