Must be something with the PHP configuration then. Try this: download the Server Wizard and see what it provides for you. If it reports the same (it should), then add this at line 255 just before if ( ! $pdo)
:
var_dump($pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_SERVER_VERSION));exit;
And that should output the MySQL server version that PDO is configured to use.
