Question Plesk 17.5.3 with MySql Community 5.7.X on Centos 7

[fabrizioi]

Hi all,

I would like to share my experience, also to know if someone can confirm that is approach is correct.

Long story short: I need Plesk with mysql-community insteadof MariaDB on my new dedicated server.

So after 3 attemps to do this, I have success with this approach.

After install CentOS 7 X64 build 1708 minimal, ssh to the server.

yum update
yum install net-tools
yum install mc
yum install wget

rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_17.5.3/dist-rpm-CentOS-7-x86_64/contrib/plesk-mysql-server-17.5.3-cos7.build1705170317.16.x86_64.rpm
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm
enable mysql 5.7 repos
yum install mysql-community-server
service mysqld start
grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log
mysql_secure_installation
./plesk-installer
service firewalld stop

During setup I receive the error "MYSQL Service name not found", the PleskBootstrapper stop execution and Plesk microupdates process run.

After that the installer redirect me to the success output

Any help/comments are welcome

Thanks

Hi,

I suggest you use mysql57 in a docker container: Let's talk about the Plesk Docker Extension | Plesk

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Is very intresting, I believe, especially for test propupose.

If the above in my post can be correct I prefer that way, I'm not a great supporter of Virtualisation Technologies

Thanks
