PhpMyAdmin 4.6.2 upgrade not working

I have just installed an update for PhpMyAdmin. Old version was 4.5.1. Upgrade to version 4.6.2 . My current version of PHP is 5.5.36 .

I have followed all the installation / upgrade documentation provided on the phpmyadmin site. I have copied over all new update files into a new fresh directory. I have copied over my config.inc.php file to the main root phpmyadmin dir as well as created a config dir with the same file in it.

When I attempt to login I receive the following error:

Error

SQL query: Edit Edit

SET lc_messages = 'en_US';

MySQL said: Documentation
#1193 - Unknown system variable 'lc_messages'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
