- Plesk Obsidian 18.0.71 Update #2
Hello everyone,
I’m currently running Plesk Obsidian 18.0.71 on AlmaLinux 8.10 with MariaDB 10.11.13 (LTS).
The Plesk interface is offering me an upgrade to MariaDB 11.4 LTS.
On my server, I host multiple websites:
From what I can see, MariaDB 11.4 offers improvements like a new cost-based optimizer, replication improvements, and extended TIMESTAMP ranges. However, I’m aware that sometimes major version upgrades can introduce compatibility issues, especially with older platforms like OpenCart 2.x.
My questions:
Any feedback, experiences, or best practices are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

On my server, I host multiple websites:
- OpenCart 2.x (not to many...)
- OpenCart 3.x
- WordPress sites
From what I can see, MariaDB 11.4 offers improvements like a new cost-based optimizer, replication improvements, and extended TIMESTAMP ranges. However, I’m aware that sometimes major version upgrades can introduce compatibility issues, especially with older platforms like OpenCart 2.x.
My questions:
- For my setup (OC 2.x, OC 3.x, and WP), is it worth upgrading now to 11.4 LTS?
- Or should I wait a bit longer for more minor releases (11.4.x) to ensure maximum stability?
- Have you experienced any compatibility issues or noticeable performance changes after upgrading from 10.11 to 11.4 in similar environments?
Any feedback, experiences, or best practices are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
