• MySQL version 5.7 is installed:

  # mysql -V
  mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.18, for Linux (x86_64)

• The SQL strict mode is enabled:

  # MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -uadmin -i -BN -e 'SELECT @@sql_mode' | egrep 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY|STRICT_TRANS_TABLES' IGNORE_SPACE,ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Cause

This is a Plesk bug with ID PPPM-6145, which is planned to be fixed in future Plesk updates.

Resolution

As a workaround:

1. Temporary disable the SQL strict mode by adding the line below under the [mysqld] section of the file /etc/my.cnf on CentOS/RHEL-based distributions or /etc/mysql/my.cnf for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

   CONFIG_TEXT: sql_mode=IGNORE_SPACE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

2. Restart the MySQL service:

   • for CentOS/RHEL-based distributions:

     # service mysqld restart

   • for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

     # service mysql restart

3. Perform Plesk upgrade.

4. After the upgrade is completed, roll back the changes: comment out or delete the string that was added on the step 1.

5. Restart the MySQL service:

   • for CentOS/RHEL-based distributions:

     # service mysqld restart

   • for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

     # service mysql restart
