Importing a new site. Local is asking to select database but doesn’t list the server version

I am importing a new site. Local is asking to select database but doesn’t list the server version reported by Advanced DB Cleaner: Here is what Advanced DB Cleaner says:

Webserver

PHP version: 8.4.5

MySQL version: 11.8.3

Server: LiteSpeed

HTTPS: Yes

Local doesn’t have PHP version 8.4.5 so it selected 8.4.10. Is that ok?

Local doesn’t have MySQL version 11.8.3. If I choose Local’s Preferred environment it selects MySQL version: 8.0.35. Is that ok?

System Details

  • Local Version: Version 9.2.9+6887

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: Windows 10

There shouldn’t be an issue with the difference in the PHP versions.

There isn’t an 11.8.3 version of MySQL. It’s likely MariaDB. Local doesn’t offer the 11.x release, on Windows the most recent seems to be 10.6 – it may differ on other platforms. I don’t use MariaDB, so can’t say for certain whether that difference will cause you major issues. It can’t hurt to try, but you may also want to check the MariaDB site to understand whether there are major differences.
