Question What is the proper repo for Alma Mariadb after an upgrade from CentOS7?

[nmdpa3]

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 8.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.60 #1

Trying to apply a Plesk update after upgrading CentOS7 to Alma per the recommended Plesk upgrade script and getting a warning that the Alma Mariadb repo cant be located.

Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: alma-mariadb

What should the proper repo be?

yum.repos.d contains a mariadb.repo, and a Mariadb.repo, but nothing with a file name specific to alma-mariadb

The current version of Mariadb running on the server is 10.11.8 which was installed after the CentOS7 upgrade to Alma via the db upgrade procedure on the Plesk tools & settings -> Database Servers page (no issues with that upgrade or problems since it was upgraded)

What's the exact error your getting when you try to install the upgrade?

Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: alma-mariadb

Followed by a Y/N prompt to continue, with a warning that continuing could result in data loss or corruption.

I see. I can't find anything related in our internal documentation. I suggest contact Plesk support, either by chat or ticket.

We'll open a ticket. Thanks

We had the same issue. In our case I looked at the Mariadb.repo file and it was for an earlier version than is currently installed so I deleted Mariadb.repo, If you aren't sure it's always a good idea to copy it or just move it before deleting it.
