<p>MySQL 8.0 is not supported in all PHP versions. Even in the supported versions, issues with the
PHP <em>mysqlnd</em> library may require the MySQL server's <em>default-authentication-plugin</em>
to be set to <em>mysql_native_password</em> to function correctly.
</p>
<p>SELinux enabled systems (such as CentOS and RHEL) may require changes to the security context
for XOOPS directories in addition to the normal file permissions to make directories writable.
Consult your system documentation and/or systems administrator.
