Question What MySQL versions are supported by Plesk Onyx on CentOS 6?

[kiav]

# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
plesk-php70-mysql-7.0.32-centos6.18091413.x86_64
mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.5r1144-7.el6.x86_64
mysql-libs-5.1.73-8.el6_8.x86_64
mysql-server-5.1.73-8.el6_8.x86_64
php-mysql-5.3.3-49.el6.x86_64
plesk-mysql-server-17.5.3-cos6.build1705170317.16.x86_64
mysql-5.1.73-8.el6_8.x86_64
plesk-php56-mysql-5.6.38-centos6.18091411.x86_64
plesk-php71-mysql-7.1.23-centos6.18101211.x86_64
perl-DBD-MySQL-4.013-3.el6.x86_64

# cat /etc/system-release
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

# uname -sr
Linux 2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.x86_64

My questions:

1. What MySQL versions can I use on my CentOS 6.10 + Plesk Onyx 17.5.3?
2. What versions does Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 supports? (I can upgrade to this version of Onyx)

Hi kiav,

You can use different versions of MySQL database with Plesk or all of them at the same time, Plesk Onyx supports it. The main question is what version of the database can be installed on CentOS 6. Also, you can connect a remote database to Plesk.

Database servers and tools (Linux):

• MySQL 5.1–5.7
• MySQL community edition 5.5, 5.6, 5.7
• MariaDB 5.5, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2

(c) Software Requirements for Plesk

Some time ago, I connected few different versions of database to Plesk with Docker containers: Let's talk about the Plesk Docker Extension | Plesk

Yes, I wanted to know about locally installed MySQL on CentOS 6.

Do I use MySQL 5.1.73 or MySQL 5.1.73 Community Edition now? This version is included in CentOS distribution.

Yes, you will use MySQL 5.1.x by default.
If you want another version of a database, you can install it from another repository

As an example, see KB:
- How to upgrade MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5 on Plesk for Linux
- How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0/10.1/10.2 on Linux
