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.<br><br>
<li><strong>SELinux</strong> enabled systems (such as <strong>CentOS</strong> and <strong>RHEL</strong>) 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.
