Question

How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.X on Linux?

Answer

This article provides instructions for upgrading MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 and MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0/10.1/10.2/10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6 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 10.4 and 10.5 are supported starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.30. Previous versions (Onyx and older) do not support MariaDB starting from 10.3 and there are no plans to implement it currently.

Warning:
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

Warning:
Direct update from MariaDB 5.5 or 5.7 to MariaDB 10.6 or later versions is not possible.
You should first update MariaDB 5.5. or 5.7 to any MariaDB from 10.3 to 10.5, and then perform an update to MariaDB 10.6 or later


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.

Note: 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 8

By default, CentOS 8 is shipped with MariaDB 10.3.

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

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

  2. Stop MariaDB:

    # service mariadb stop

  3. Remove additional package conflicting with 10.4 version:

    # yum remove mariadb-gssapi-server

  4. For security reasons, copy the database directory in a separate folder:

    # cp -v -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup

  5. Configure MariaDB repository: open the Setting MariaDB repositories page, select your OS distro, release, and desired MariaDB version. Once done, the configuration that should be added to the /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo file will appear.

    Warning: MariaDB 10.4 and later versions are supported since 18.0.30, make sure the latest Plesk version is installed.

    Here is an example for MariaDB 10.4:

    5.1. 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

    5.2. Add the content below to the file:

    [mariadb]
    name = MariaDB
    baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.4/centos8-amd64
    gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
    gpgcheck=1
    priority=1
    module_hotfixes=1

    The configuration item module_hotfixes=1 is a workaround for what MariaDB told is a dnf bug. See MDEV-20673 for more details

    5.3. Save the changes and close the file.

  6. Reset all the cache:

    # yum clean all

  7. Start an upgrade of MariaDB to 10.4:

    # yum install MariaDB-server galera-4 MariaDB-client MariaDB-shared MariaDB-backup MariaDB-common

  8. Once the upgrade is finished, start MariaDB:

    # systemctl restart mariadb

  9. Upgrade MySQL databases:

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

  10. Restart mariadb service:

    # systemctl restart mariadb

  11. Execute this command to update the package version inside Plesk:

    # plesk sbin packagemng -sdf

  12. Restore SeLinux context:

    # restorecon -v /var/lib/mysql/*

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.

Automatic method

Note: The script below is applicable only for upgrading default MariaDB 5.5 to the MariaDB 10.5 version, for other cases apply the steps from the Manual Method section. Make sure Obsidian 18.0.30 or later is installed on the server.

  1. Download the attached script and provide it with executable rights:

    # wget https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/4584125667858/c7-mariadb-10.5-upgrade.sh && chmod +x c7-mariadb-10.5-upgrade.sh

  2. Execute the script via CLI:

    # ./c7-mariadb-10.5-upgrade.sh

Manual Method

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

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

  2. Stop MariaDB:

    # service mariadb stop

  3. Remove additional mariadb-bench package if installed:

    # rpm -e --nodeps mariadb-bench

  4. For security reasons, copy the database directory in a separate folder:

    # cp -v -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup

  5. Check if the mariadb-server package is already installed:

    # rpm -q --whatprovides mariadb-server

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

    # rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -q --whatprovides mariadb-server`

  6. Configure MariaDB repository: open the Setting MariaDB repositories page, select your OS distro, release, and desired MariaDB version. Once done, the configuration, that should be added to the /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo file will appear.

    Warning: MariaDB 10.4 and later versions are supported since 18.0.30, make sure the latest Plesk version is installed.

    Here is an example for MariaDB 10.5:

    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/10.5/centos7-amd64
    gpgkey = https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
    gpgcheck=1

    6.3. Save the changes and close the file.

  7. Reset all the cache:

    # yum clean all

  8. Start an upgrade of MariaDB:

    # yum install MariaDB-client MariaDB-server MariaDB-compat MariaDB-shared

  9. Once the upgrade is finished, start MariaDB:

    # systemctl restart mariadb

    OR

    # systemctl restart mysql

  10. Upgrade MySQL databases:

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

  11. Restart mysql service:

    # systemctl restart mariadb

    OR

    # systemctl restart mysql

  12. 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 -f /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 CloudLinux

  1. Create a backup of all databases with the following command:

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

  2. Stop the MySQL service:

    # service mysqld stop

  3. Copy a databases directory in a separate folder like this (for backup purposes also):

    # cp -v -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup

  4. Start the MySQL service:

    # service mysqld start

  5. 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

  6. 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
    mariadb103 for MariaDB v10.3
    mariadb104 for MariaDB v10.4
    mariadb105 for MariaDB v10.5
    mysql55 for MySQL v5.5
    mysql56 for MySQL v5.6
    mysql57 for MySQL v5.7

  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

  8. Restart MySQL:

    # service mysql restart

  9. Upgrade MySQL databases:

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

  10. Restart MySQL:

    # service mysql restart

  11. Execute the following commands to update package version inside Plesk:

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

Plesk on Debian 9

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

  1. 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:

Example for MariaDB 10.2

  1. Install MariaDB:

    1.1. 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.
    Package mysql-server is not installed.
    <...>
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    Depends: mariadb-server-core-10.2 (>= 10.2.19+maria~stretch) but it is not going to be installed

    Run the command below to correct them:

    # apt --fix-broken install

  2. Check MySQL version:

    # mysql -V
    mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.2.19-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

  3. Start the MariaDB service:

    # service mariadb start

    Note: It may be already started

  4. Upgrade MySQL databases:

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

  5. Restart mysql service:

    # service mariadb restart

  6. Execute the following commands to update package version inside Plesk:

    # plesk bin service_node --update local

    # apt-get install software-properties-common dirmngr apt-transport-https

    # apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc'

    # add-apt-repository 'deb https://mirror.mva-n.net/mariadb/repo/10.4/debian buster main'

    For other MariaDB versions replace 10.4 with 10.5 in the repository path.

  2. Create a backup of all MySQL data:

    I would recommend to add a:

    yum clean all

    to the script to prevent problems with old yum cache.

    Regarding Centos 7 instructions are uncorrect as it's not possibile to install automatically the upgrade as Superuser while it's needed to be root to execute the script.

    Hello giuseppe amodio,

    Thank you for your comment. I've re-tested the script on a test server. It is possible to execute it as Superuser using the 'sudo ./c7-mariadb-10.5-upgrade.sh' command. 
    So the following statement from the article is correct:

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

    It should be noted that in /etc/yum.conf there is an exclusion by default for MariaDB.

    `exclude=MariaDB*`

    You should comment this out so the yum install will work and then add the exclusion again after.

    Hello Daniel West,

    During the Plesk installation, no excludes are added to the `/etc/yum.conf` configuration file from the Plesk side by default. The '/etc/yum.conf ' file may be modified by the server provider/hosting provider. Still, thank you for noticing. This information can be helpful.

    If I remember correctly, the "exclude=MariaDB" resulted from a situation where an automatic update updated MariaDB to a version that failed with certain database attributes and was shortly revoked after publication. At that time the advice was to exclude MariaDB from automatic updates (from Yum respectively). So indeed, this is an "extra" user-driven configuration that is not the MariaDB or Yum default.

    Hello Carlos Lopez,

    To update to MariaDB 10.6 on Centos 7 you will need to apply the Manual Solution for Centos 7. In step 6 it will be required to open the Setting MariaDB repositories page, select your OS distro, release, and desired MariaDB version, and place the provided output to the `/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo` file as per steps 6.1 and 6.2.

    I have upgraded from version 5.1 to 5.5 and it went very well.

    Now I am trying to update from 5.5 to 5.7, when I finish all the steps this is the message I get.

    This installation of MySQL is already upgraded to 5.5.55, use --force if you still need to run mysql_upgrade

    I've got:
    OS: CentOS 6.10 (Final)
    Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.31

    someone who can help me

    Hello antonio dolce,

    Thank you Plesk team,

    We followed all the instruction from section - Plesk on Ubuntu 18.04, for upgrading mariadb to 10.3.

    and we succeeded in one shot without a single error,

    just in one place we stuck, that we wanted to upgrade to mariadb 10.4, but when I added the repository, it said that current i386 structure don't support 10.4 mariadb, but later I added repository for mariadb 10.3,, but still it was showing i386 error.

    later I moved to "/etc/apt/sources.list" and commented the mariadb10.4 line  and continued the previous process of installation, and it installed the latest mariadb10.3 smoothly

     

    Regards Ganesh

    Can you please update the list of MariaDB versions? The current list contains versions that are no longer supported by the vendor (end-of-life):

    Hello maartenv,

    The article contains the list of outdated MariaDB versions for better searching, so the servers with EOLed MariaDB versions can also be upgraded. However, thank you for providing the link. It can be helpful for others.

    I am on Debian 10.12 with Plesk 18.0.45 and recently updated MariaDB to 10.5 as per this guide.

    All went well.

    Only thing that I get recently an error notification from the System updates tool.
    It states that the repository has no longer a release file...

    Reason: 2022-08-16 06:25:19 INFO: pum is called with arguments: ['--list', '--repo-info', '--json']
    2022-08-16 06:25:21 ERROR: E:The repository 'https://mirror.docker.ru/mariadb/repo/10.5/debian buster Release' no longer has a Release file.
    2022-08-16 06:25:21 ERROR: Exited with returncode 1.

    Does this guide need an update accordingly or is it just a temporary repository fluke?

     

    Edit/Additon: In general wouldnt it be preferable to use links to official repositories?

    Form here: https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config&d=Debian+10+"buster"&v=10.5

    Hello M SZ,

    The error may appear when non-standard repositories are used. The solution from the following article will be helpful in this case: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002961854.

    It is always preferable to use official repositories.

    Anastasia Zyrianova thanks for your response and glad that we agree.

    I wrote my comment / question because the example in your guide in this specific article uses a non-official repository:

     https://mirror.docker.ru/mariadb/repo/10.x/debian buster main'

    Therefore my suggestion to change this guide/article here and also use official repos going forward.

    Hello Robert Krölls,

    The latest supported version of MariaDB, for now, is MariaDB 10.6: https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/software-requirements/#s4. Ubuntu 22.04 comes with MariaDB 10.6 so no upgrade path is currently available for this OS.

    There's a step missing when upgrading from MariaDB:10.5 to MariaDB:10.6 on CentOS 7

    After Step 8, the service will fail to start.

    THE 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.

    THE FIX: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5180170766738-Unable-to-start-MariaDB-10-6-on-a-Plesk-server-Bind-on-TCP-IP-port-Got-error-22-Invalid-argument

    After editing your my.cnf file and restarting mariadb service, proceed to Step 10 and finish installation.
