After upgrading MariaDB to 10.6, the service fails to start with:
# service mariadb status
...

Plesk is not accessible:
PLESK_INFO: 500 Plesk\Exception\Database
DB query failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory
Cause
MariaDB 10.6 does not allow to bind both ::1 and 127.0.0.1 via the setting bind-address = ::ffff:127.0.0.1 in the file /etc/my.cnf.
Resolution
- Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.
-
Open the file in a text editor. In this example, we are using the vi editor:
# vi /etc/my.cnf
-
Change the
bind-addresssetting from:CONFIG_TEXT: bind-address = ::ffff:127.0.0.1
to
CONFIG_TEXT: bind-address = 127.0.0.1
-
Save the changes and close the file.
-
Start the MariaDB service:
# service mariadb restart

In my case, the my.cnf file was located in the /etc/mysql folder and not /etc/. By the way, this information or at least a link to this information should be included in the How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.x on Linux? support page instructions at step 5 or 6. I'm lucky I located this article and my server was down for a good while as I frantically searched around to figure what the heck went wrong.
Thanks to Wyk Parish my update failed because of this error too. It is absolutely mandatory to check this before the upgrade. I shit my pants as the update failed ...
