How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0/10.1/10.2 on Linux?

Updated February 25, 2020 12:05

Applicable to:

Plesk for Linux

This article provides instructions for upgrading MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 and MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0/10.1/10.2 on Linux.

Note: Upgrade can be performed in a command-line interface with the instructions below at your own risk. This task is supposed to be performed by a system administrator.
If you are not familiar with Linux system administering and would like our professionals to handle this task on your behalf, contact Professional Services team at https://www.plesk.com/professional-services/.

To find out your Linux distribution, run:

# plesk version | grep "OS version"

Or:

# cat /etc/*-release

Warning: MariaDB 10.3 is supported starting from Plesk Obsidian. Previous versions (Onyx and older) do not support MariaDB 10.3. For details, visit this link.

Warning: MariaDB 10.4 is not currently supported by Plesk.

Warnings:
Direct upgrade from MySQL 5.1 to MySQL 5.6/5.7 will break tables structure. The instructions for upgrading MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5 on Linux are available here: How to upgrade MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5 on Linux

It is strongly recommended to create a server snapshot (full backup) before upgrading. Perform MySQL upgrade at your own risk.

Before starting a MySQL upgrade, stop the WatchDog service if it is used on a server. Check its status with the service watchdog status command.

Notes: MySQL will not be upgraded on CentOS/RHEL-based operating systems if it was installed from the Webtatic Yum repository:

# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
mysql55w-server-5.5.57-1.w6.x86_64

To start an upgrade of MySQL/MariaDB, connect to a server via SSH as root/superuser and follow the instructions for your operating system:

Plesk on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7

By default, CentOS 7 is shipped with MariaDB 5.5. MariaDB 10.x version is a drop-in replacement for MySQL 5.5-5.7.

For security reasons, create a database dump of all databases with the following command:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysqldump -u admin --all-databases --routines --triggers > /tmp/all-databases.sql
Stop MariaDB:

# service mariadb stop
Remove additional packages like mariadb-bench:

# rpm -e --nodeps mariadb-bench
For security reasons, copy the database directory in a separate folder:

# cp -v -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup
Check if the mysql-server package is already installed:

# rpm -q --whatprovides mysql-server

If it is installed and the command above gives output, remove using the following command:

# rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -q --whatprovides mysql-server`
Configure MariaDB repository: open the Setting MariaDB repositories page, select your OS distro, release and a desired MariaDB version. Once done, the configuration that should be added to the /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo file will appear.

Here is an example for MariaDB 10.2:

6.1. Open/create the MariaDB.repo file in any text editor. In this example, we are using the vi editor:

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

6.2. Add the content below to the file:

CONFIG_TEXT: [mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.2/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1

6.3. Save the changes and close the file.
Start an upgrade of MariaDB:

# yum install MariaDB-client MariaDB-server
Once the upgrade is finished, start MariaDB:

# systemctl restart mariadb

OR

# systemctl restart mysql
Upgrade MySQL databases:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin
Restart mysql service:

# systemctl restart mariadb

OR

# systemctl restart mysql
Execute this command to update the package version inside Plesk:

# plesk sbin packagemng -sdf

Note: After an upgrade, there may appear 'mysql' init script. It should be removed to avoid conflicts with MariaDB service. The same commands can be used to fix already existing conflict:

# systemctl stop mysql; killall mysqld # to stop the incorrect service if it is started
# rm /etc/init.d/mysql && systemctl daemon-reload # to remove the incorrect service script and reload systemctl configuration
# systemctl start mariadb # to start MariaDB if not started
# systemctl enable mariadb # to make sure that MariaDB will start after the server reboot automatically

Plesk on CentOS 6 / RHEL 6

For security reasons, create a database dump of all databases with the following command:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysqldump -u admin --all-databases --routines --triggers > /tmp/all-databases.sql

If the command fails with "Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably corrupted", apply the solution from this KB article.
Stop MySQL server:

# service mysqld stop
For security reasons, create a backup of all existing databases:

# cp -a /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_backup
Disable Atomic repository, if it is enabled:

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo
enabled = 0
Check for MySQL repo files left from previous installation.

# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql*

If any found, remove them:

# rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community-source.repo
Install the MySQL-community repository:

# yum install https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-el6-1.noarch.rpm
Configure MySQL repository:

7.1. Open the mysql-community.repo file in a text editor. In this example, we are using the vi editor:

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community.repo

7.2. Select a MySQL version. In this example, we are upgrading MySQL to 5.7:

Warning: Disable MySQL 8.0 repository and exclude mysql-connector-odbc-8 version, as these releases are not supported by Plesk yet. If it is not disabled, yum will install the latest version which will cause major issues.

CONFIG_TEXT: [mysql56-community]
enabled=0
...
[mysql57-community]
enabled=1
...
[mysql80-community]
enabled=0
...
[mysql-connectors-community]
exclude=mysql-connector-odbc-8*
...

7.3. Save the changes and close the file.
Install MySQL packages:

# yum update mysql

If update of mysql package ends with Nothing to do message, make sure that mysql* packages are not added to excludes in yum.conf file and remove it if it is in the list:

# cat /etc/yum.conf | grep exclude
exclude=php-common php-cli php mysql* httpd* mod_ssl*
Type y if this message appears:

CONFIG_TEXT: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 5072e1f5: NOKEY
Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql

Is this ok [y/N]:
Start MySQL server:

# service mysqld start

If the service does not start, check the following article: MySQL fails to start: mysql.user table is damaged.
Upgrade MySQL databases:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin
Restart mysql service:

# service mysqld restart
Execute the following commands to update package version inside Plesk:

# plesk bin service_node --update local
# plesk sbin packagemng -sdf

Plesk on CloudLinux

Create a backup of all databases with the following command:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysqldump -u admin --all-databases --routines --triggers > /tmp/all-databases.sql
Stop the MySQL service:

# service mysqld stop
Copy a databases directory in a separate folder like this (for backup purposes also):

# cp -v -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup
Start the MySQL service:

# service mysqld start
Ensure that [mysqlclient] repository is enabled in
/etc/yum.repos.d/cl-mysql.repo and the below command displays similar output:

# yum repolist enabled | grep mysqlclient
Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration
mysqclient/7/x86_64 mysqlclient 7
Select MySQL/MariaDB version to install:

Note: The following command does not work if governor-mysql package is not installed. In such case, install it:
# yum install governor-mysql

# /usr/share/lve/dbgovernor/mysqlgovernor.py --mysql-version=XXXXX

Note: Where 'XXXXX' has to be substituted with one of the following:
mariadb100 for MariaDB v10.0
mariadb101 for MariaDB v10.1
mariadb102 for MariaDB v10.2
mysql55 for MySQL v5.5
mysql56 for MySQL v5.6
mysql57 for MySQL v5.7
Install selected previously MariaDB engine:

# /usr/share/lve/dbgovernor/mysqlgovernor.py --install

Warning: CloudLinux does not recommend to downgrade from MySQL v5.6, MariaDB 10.x
Restart MySQL:

# service mysql restart
Upgrade MySQL databases:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin
Restart MySQL:

# service mysql restart
Execute the following commands to update package version inside Plesk:

# plesk bin service_node --update local
# plesk sbin packagemng -sdf

Plesk on Debian 8 & 9

Debian 8 & 9 are basically shipped with MariaDB. MariaDB 10.x version is a drop-in replacement for MySQL 5.5/5.6/5.7

Backup all existing databases using the KB article How to backup/restore a Plesk database dump and follow instructions on MariaDB site to update it:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/installing-mariadb-deb-files/

Example for MariaDB 10.2

Install MariaDB:

Stop the MariaDB service:

# service mariadb stop

# curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version=mariadb-10.2

# apt install mariadb-server-10.2

If the installation fails with unmet dependencies:

CONFIG_TEXT: dpkg: mariadb-server-10.1: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
plesk-mysql-server depends on virtual-mysql-server | mysql-server; however:
Package virtual-mysql-server is not installed.
Package mariadb-server-10.1 which provides virtual-mysql-server is to be removed.
Package mariadb-server-10.2 which provides virtual-mysql-server is not installed.

Can you please make sure that the step "mysql_upgrade" is added after upgrading / starting MySQL on the CentOS 7 instructions?

This checks and fixes any system tables

Thank You

Hello @Cogeco Peer 1 Frontline,

I have reviewed the article, "mysql_upgrade" is already added to be executed after upgrading Database server and starting it.

Hello @Ivan, glad to hear that the instruction has helped. However, MariaDB 10.2 and 10.3 are not yet officially supported by Plesk.

We followed the instructions provided on here and upgraded MariaDB 10.1 to MariaDB 10.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 running Plesk 17.8.11 #19 where MariaDB 10.2 is now officially supported. It worked first time, perfectly, with no issues.

Hello Ivan!

I have Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11 Update #19 on a CentOS Linux 7.5.1804 (Core) with a MySQL (Maria DB I belief) ver.5.5.60. on a dedicated server.

I have a script that requires MySQL ver. 5.6, and error flags with [No MySQL available] when I tried to install it just to see.

The script developer tells me to move to a server with Cpanel, and that is out of the question, as I have used Plesk since version 7 or 8 I believe. I cannot get a refund either, as this is not a script failure, and I'm not going to write off $800 either, and there's no other script with what I need anyway.

I have currently 2 servers with Plesk licenses, and I can experiment with one not so important.
However, my time is on a tremendous squeeze, so I would like to start out with something that works without trying to experiment with version after version.

Should I try to install the latest MariaDB 10.3, or is it possible to install a MySQL 5.6 as required, and a better option. I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you kindly!

I am running the latest version of Plesk Onyx for Linux 17.8.11 with CentOS 7.5.1804 and I want to Upgrade the MySQL Server from 5.5 to 5.7.

For software specific reasons, I do not want to Upgrade to MariaDB 10.X. Does anyone know if the instructions above for CentOS 6 will work for CentOS 7.5?

Hi @Bruno Schrotter!

As MariaDB is a replacement for MySQL, upgrade it to MariaDB 10.1 (that is equal to MySQL 5.6). Just follow the instructions for CentOS 7, it should work as expected.

Hi @Kevin Hudson!

Instructions for CentOS 6 will not work as CentOS 6 has MySQL by default.

What you need to do in order to achieve your goal is to replace MariaDB with MySQL 5.5 and then upgrade MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.7. Replacement might have some issues with compatibility.

I was not able to find the repo for MySQL 5.5 for CentOS 7, however if you find one, something like this should do the trick for you:

1. Stop MariaDB:

# service mariadb stop

2. Remove it:

# rpm -e --nodeps mariadb-server

3. Add your custom repo with mysql 5.5.

4. Install packages from this repo:

# yum install mysql-server mysql-community-server

5. Then, start the service, run mysql_upgrade:

# service mysqld start
# mysql_upgrade -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

6. Refresh server components:

# plesk sbin packagemng -sdf

Note that you might want to install packages manually on step 4 in case you will not be able to find the repo on step 3.

Please, keep in mind that this instructions were not tested and I suggest to create a snapshot of the server as well as the backup of MySQL databases before doing so.

Hello there.

Nice article, I upgraded my MySQL server from 5.5 to 5.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 successfully.

When restarting my server I ran through the following warning: MySQL 5.7 No directory, logging in with HOME=/

My solution (for the time being) is/was to change home directory of mysql
```
# service mysql stop
# usermod -d /var/lib/mysql/ mysql
# service mysql start
```

This fixed my issues on the latest Plesk 17.8 --- was migrating from Ubuntu 18. Used CloudLinux, it caused a lot of issues. So don't do CloudLinux first -- YOU WILL run into issues... MIGRATE YOUR ACCOUNTS FIRST, then add your extensions like CloudLinux and Litespeed.

hi, I tried to update the MySQL version by following the guide but the operation stopped at point 8.

MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin

and I receive the error:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin
Version check failed. Got the following error when calling the 'mysql' command line client
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

thanks

Hi @Domenico,

The command should be working well in case there is no other issue involved here. Try checking this in the following manner:

1. Check whether or not you can access MySQL with any of the following commands:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -uadmin psa

OR

# plesk db

OR

# mysql psa -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

2. I also would recommend checking whether or not you have /root/.my.cnf file and removing it if any.

@Domenico

Check if any Plesk-related packages were removed during the upgrade of MariaDB (in /var/log/yum.log they should be marked as "erased").
If there were, run the autoinstaller and reinstall them:

# wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
# chmod +x plesk-installer
# ./plesk-installer

Hello @Domenico,

From the provided logs I see that Plesk is not able to establish a connection with MariaDB.

Initial troubleshooting steps are the same as provided by @Alexander:

1. Check whether or not you can access MySQL with any of the following commands:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -uadmin psa

OR

# plesk db

OR

# mysql psa -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

2. I also would recommend checking whether or not you have /root/.my.cnf file and removing it if any.

As the issue is rather complicated and there is Plesk downtime, I would suggest submitting a request for Plesk Support.

hello Ivan, thanks for the reply

if you activate the commands indicated by you, this happens:

# MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -uadmin psa
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
# plesk db
-bash: plesk: command not found
# mysql psa -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

in root/ I do not have the file /.my.cnf
I see a file named .mysql_history

I tried to make a request to the support, but it tells me that my license was sold by a retailer and I can not go on, my dealer does not help me because I did not buy this

@Domenico,

Hello,

In such case, it is still possible to get support from Plesk directly. Please check the article How to get support directly from Plesk?

Plesk support subscription will allow you to submit a request if you decide to continue with MySQL upgrade.

Hi,

two little things. First, the repo/mirror "mirror.host.ag" in capital city of Bulgaria, Sofia, provided in the tutorial is not accessable since last week. I had to choose another one, because I got the following error [HUB] Plesk Update Manager (PUM) fails: pum is called with arguments.

Second is a question. Is it possible to upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 or do you recommend to wait a while? Because on the mirrors site shows MariaDB 10.3 release for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as "stable".

Lots of greets

Hey there Markus,

1. Looks like not only in Bulgaria the repo http://mirror.host.ag/ is unavailable. We've already replaced it with a different one - http://mirror.truenetwork.ru.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

2. MariaDB 10.3 is not yet supported by Plesk. Support for this version will be added in the upcoming major release. It is now reflected in the article as well.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hello @Alejandro Stendelis,

Try to clean up the list of the mirrors.

1. Install yum utils:
# yum install yum-utils

2. Run the following command:
# yum clean all

If the issue still persists, please submit the ticket and we investigate the issue:
How to submit a request to Plesk support?
