TITLE

Clean installation of Plesk on a Centos 8 server with MySQL 8 does not work

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

The Plesk CLI installer does not work when trying to do a clean install on a Centos 8 server running MySQL 8.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Instructions taken from (To perform clean installation of Plesk on the server with MySQL8):

Which MySQL versions are supported by Plesk?

Applicable to: Plesk for Linux Plesk for Windows Question Which MySQL versions are supported by different versions of Plesk? Answer Plesk Obsidian for Windows: MySQL community edition 5.5, 5.6,...

support.plesk.com

On a Centos 8 server:

// install mysql 8
yum -y install @mysql
systemctl start mysqld
systemctl enable --now mysqld

// this is a dependency of plesk-mysql-server-community-centos-8.rpm
yum install mariadb-connector-c

rpm -Uvh https://autoinstall.plesk.com/mysql-server-community/plesk-mysql-server-community-centos-8.rpm
wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
chmod +x plesk-installer
./plesk-installer

ACTUAL RESULT

The Plesk installer will remove MySQL 8 and spit out a tonne of errors as no DB server is installed.

EXPECTED RESULT

The installer should not remove MySQL 8.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I was able to do a clean install of Plesk with MySQL 8 using the CLI installer on Ubuntu 20.

You have to manually pre-install package - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/mysql-server-community/plesk-mysql-server-community-centos-8.rpm, see exact instructions in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002420194-Which-MySQL-versions-are-supported-by-Plesk

If you look at the STEPS TO REPRODUCE section which I posted you can see that I installed that package and it's dependencies before I ran the Plesk installer.

rpm -Uvh https://autoinstall.plesk.com/mysql-server-community/plesk-mysql-server-community-centos-8.rpm
wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
chmod +x plesk-installer
./plesk-installer

Thank you. The issue PPPM-12774 is confirmed: it's impossible to install Plesk + mysql8 on centos8.
Unfortunately, no way to work around the issue.
