Plesk 12 with Mariadb on Ubuntu 14.04

I would think that you should be able to use the manual you posted and begin where it starts with "Ubuntu"
http://devblog.plesk.com/2013/08/mariadb-installation-guide/

Important: Build a server snapshot just in case if you make a mistake
And make sure to use either the repository for MariaDB 10 or 5.5
because upgrade from version 5.5 to 10 did not work for me

I used the MariaDB version 10 and do not have any issues with Plesk 12.0.8 running on Centos version 6.6

Hi,

Is Plesk 12 compatible with Mariadb 5 or 10 on Ubuntu 14.04?.

Yes 5 is compatible, but yes those docs don't seem to work for Ubuntu 14, as it's met with dependency issues.

Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS MariaDB Version:
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.41-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2


What errors did you get when you installed?

Once I had run the command in the docs above, I ran apt-get -f install, which added some extra packages...

Code:
 # apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
   libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-5.5 mariadb-client-core-5.5
   mariadb-server-core-5.5
The following packages will be REMOVED
  mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5
The following NEW packages will be installed
  libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-5.5 mariadb-client-core-5.5
  mariadb-server-core-5.5
0 to upgrade, 4 to newly install, 2 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/5,964 kB of archives.
After this operation, 7,827 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y


So I assume the correct command would be...

Code:
# env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -o OrderList::Score::Immediate=1000 \
install libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-5.5 mariadb-client-core-5.5 mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-server-5.5 mariadb-server-core-5.5


Maybe IgorG can confirm this this?
I hope that answers part of your question.

Kind regards

So i can replace the 5.5 with 10.0? will that affect my current databases which is using 10.1

Code:
# env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -o OrderList::Score::Immediate=1000 \
install libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-5.5 mariadb-client-core-5.5 mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-server-5.5 mariadb-server-core-5.5
 
Hi Kingsley,
I'm yet to try MaraDB 10/10.1 on Ubuntu 14, doing a quick
Code:
# apt-cache search mariadb
libmariadbclient-dev - MariaDB database development files
libmariadbclient18 - MariaDB database client library
libmariadbd-dev - MariaDB embedded database development files
libreoffice-mysql-connector - MariaDB/MySQL Connector extension for LibreOffice
libwtdbomysql-dev - MySQL/MariaDB backend for Wt::Dbo [development]
libwtdbomysql35 - MySQL/MariaDB backend for Wt::Dbo [runtime]
mariadb-client - MariaDB database client (metapackage depending on the latest version)
mariadb-client-5.5 - MariaDB database client binaries
mariadb-client-core-5.5 - MariaDB database core client binaries
mariadb-common - MariaDB common metapackage
mariadb-server - MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
mariadb-server-5.5 - MariaDB database server binaries
mariadb-server-core-5.5 - MariaDB database core server files
mariadb-test - MariaDB database regression test suite (metapackage for the latest version)
mariadb-test-5.5 - MariaDB database regression test suite
sw-mariadb-client - Mariadb client library

only shows 5.5 available.
So you may have to install from mariadb's repos...

https://downloads.mariadb.org/maria...ro_release=trusty--ubuntu_trusty&version=10.1

Which I haven't tried yet.
Have a look at the notes here...

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/upgrading-from-mariadb-55-to-mariadb-100/

I would fire up a test vps and do some testing first, if I get time over the weekend I will have a look.
In the meantime, if anyone else has any insights please post away.
Kind regards

Lloyd

alright will be expecting your update
 
Hi Kingsley,
I got round to trying this last night, as I suspected I had to install from the mariadb repo.
Code:
# apt-get install software-properties-common
# apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
# add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://mirrors.coreix.net/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu trusty main'
# apt-get update


then I ran the modified command...
Code:
# env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -o OrderList::Score::Immediate=1000 \
install libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-10.1 mariadb-client-core-10.1 mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-core-10.1


But had some issues, the first one, was fixed with...
Code:
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-server-10.1_10.1.11+maria-1~trusty_amd64.deb


Then..
Code:
# dpkg --configure -a


And finally...
Code:
# apt-get install -f


After that all was well...
Code:
# mysql -V
mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.11-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2


This was an in place upgrade from MySQL straight to 10.1, I haven't had any issues with Plesk.
Obviously you install at your own risk.
I hope that helps

Kind regards

Lloyd

NOTE: If asked to enter MySQL Password, you can leave blank and the old one will be used.

So you installed Plesk first before this?

Did you try to reboot the server?
 
When i tried

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-server-10.1_10.1.11+maria-1~trusty_amd64.deb

i was asked for password, from there it never worked, as the following commands were popping up errors
 
Hi Kingslay,
sorry been out on a job all afternoon....

1. Yes I did this after installing Plesk, and yeah I rebooted a few times, no problems.

2. Did you leave the password field blank?

Like I say, I've been out all afternoon and need something to eat, I'll be back online later.
Kind regards

Lloyd

I tried with blank password after it finished installing the following command wont work

# dpkg --configure -a

# apt-get install -f
 
Might just use CENTOS7 since it can work well except the update is available notification i see there..... then wait for what Ubuntu 16 + plesk has to offer......

Alright, finally i think i got it working, thanks for your help...... few questions please.

1. At the end i was ask for password which i left blank, so what is the password now?

2. Is this going to brake anything in the next plesk update?
 
Right I just upgraded my live personal server from MariaDB 5.5 to 10.1, after adding the MariaDB repos, I ran this command..

Code:
env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -o OrderList::Score::Immediate=1000 \
install libjemalloc1 galera-3 libmariadbclient18 mariadb-common mariadb-client-core-10.1 mariadb-client-10.1 mariadb-server mariadb-server-core-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1

But still got the same error...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-server-10.1_10.1.11+maria-1~trusty_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So went through the same procedure I used in my previous post to fix it.
Anyway, I hope my notes help a bit.
Kind regards

Excellent mate!
1. The password is the MySQL root password, which is the same as the Plesk admin password (I believe)
2. No, I haven't had any issues running MariaDB in the last year with Plesk.

Glad to hear you got it all working
Kind regards
