Hi. I tried to install Mysql 8, but latest Direct ADmin for Debian 9 is blocking to uninstall MariaDB which is installed by default with the installation script.
DO you have any workaround for this problem? Can MariaDB installation be disabled in first Direct Admin install? or any option to remove it after install and add MYSQL 8 ?

Thanks for tips
 
MariaDB 5.5 is not blocking it, however, you should do it incrementally.

1. Upgrade to MySQL 5.6
2. Upgrade to MySQL 5.7
3. Upgrade to MySQL 8.0
 
What do you mean by incrementally?
when I MariaDB is installed by default - I cannot install Mysql 8.0 or any other previous version, because this is blocking anything.
please check your repo - but for Debian - any DA install forces MariaDB - which cannot be changed to Mysql, because of some strange relations in DA configuration and files
 
You get MariaDB 5.5 installed by default, you can just do:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set mysql_inst mysql
./build set mysql 5.6
./build mysql

And it should get MySQL 5.6 installed on the system. Didn't it work?
 
[root@mail custombuild]# ./build set mysql 5.6
5.6 is not a valid setting for mysql option.

why directadmin have mariadb 5.5 default installation in installation script why not its upgraded version 10.x how can i set it install upgraded one during the installation process of directadmnin?
