Question MariaDB 10.3 Not Showing in Plesk Components and Crashing After Installation

[Kingcoder]

Server operating system version

Windows Server 2019

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.69 Web Host Edition

Hello,


I have MariaDB 11.4 (11.4.3.0) installed on Plesk, but I want to downgrade it to MariaDB 10.3 (10.3.39.0) just like on my old server. I successfully installed it, and it appears under the database servers. I can even create new databases with it. However, it doesn't show up under the Plesk components, and when I click "Refresh", MariaDB crashes.


What could be the reason for this?


Thank you.

MariaDB 10.3 is only supported for customer websites and cannot be used solely for everything. The best option if you needed 10.3 is to either install it as a separate installation on the same server (adds major complexity), install it as a docker container (minor complexity) or create a small separate server for that version (lot more straight forward but also need to ensure firewall rules configured so there's no public access and only trusted servers can communicate to it). Whichever options you go with you can add it as an additional database type to offer to websites in plesk getting it installed.
