MariaDB not upgrade

[alex11]

DA version: 1.695

cat options.conf

# MySQL Settings
#mysql=8.4
mariadb=10.6
mysql_inst=mariadb
mysql_backup=yes
mysql_backup_gzip=no
mysql_backup_dir=/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/mysql_backups
mysql_force_compile=no

With these settings it installs without any problems

cat versions.txt

mariadb10.3:10.3.39:
mariadb10.4:10.4.34:
mariadb10.5:10.5.29:
mariadb10.6:10.6.25:
mariadb10.11:10.11.16:
mariadb11.4:11.4.10:
mariadb11.8:11.8.6:

But if I want to update MariaDB to a newer version 10.11 or 11.4, the update shows an error:

./build mariadb
Invalid MariaDB release configured, please change 'mariadb' line in options.conf

What could be the problem?

How then to use the current versions of Mysql?

July 2026 – Effectively the end of the DirectAdmin Legacy License​

For anyone who wasn’t aware yet: July 2026 effectively marks the end of the DirectAdmin Legacy License — at least, that’s the unavoidable conclusion after our recent discussions with DirectAdmin.

Over the past week, we had an in-depth exchange with the DA team about the future of the Legacy License. Since many providers/users appear unaware of what is coming, we want to share a clear and transparent summary to help others plan responsibly.

How this started​
