Custom MySQL install

[iseletsk]

To make our MySQL Governor compatible with DA, we need to install our version of MySQL or latest version of MariaDB.
1. How can we install custom version of MySQL, and make sure they will not get overwritten by DA admin?
2. How can we detect which version of MySQL is running on that particular server (so that we update to the same version)
3. Which versions are supported?
4. What is the latest version of MariaDB supported by DA?

You should follow documentation on MySQL dev.mysql.com to learn how to install custom version of MySQL.

You won't able to install MySQL with custombuid if you set
mysql_inst to no

Officially Directadmin does not support MariaDB, but since it's a replacement for MySQL, supported versions of MySQL: 4.x, 5.0.x, 5.1.x, 5.5.x

I see user ExsysTech posted more information in the topic on CL.com. Anyway contacting DA support trough e-mail might have been the best way, since posting it here was only a suggestion by me. But now that its posted here already I hope all the information will be given.
