Upgrading MySQL 5.1 to 5.5 pn Plesk 11.5 on RHEL/CentOS 6.x

[jazz090]

The release notes for 11.5 suggest support for MySQL 5.5, but apparently only for RHEL/CentOS 5.x (and CloudLinux) which is frustrating: http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...inistrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=59427.htm

Can this be done manually on RHEL/CentOS 6.x?

One source suggests ATOMIC CORP or puling straight from the ORACLE repository: http://serverkb.co.uk/wiki/Plesk#MySQL_Version_5.5_on_CentOS_6

I was dissuaded by the zero warranty that comes with ATOMIC CORP, otherwise sounds tempting.

You may safely install MySQL from third-party repositories with Plesk 11.5. Remi or Atomic should be fine. DON'T disable repository after installation.

You may even install MySQL variants such as MariaDB or Percona Server. See rough example instructions here: http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...linux-advanced-administration-guide/72943.htm

While we as atomicorp the company do not support mysql as a product (yet anyway), we do have very active forums for the project as well as Mariadb. Also we use Plesk, and Centos 6 just like you do, so if you are running into a problem its going to be something we would probably run into as well.
