Hi
After my VPS providers migrated my VPS to a new node, there were issues and I have had to reinstall my VPS server software and DirectAdmin from scratch. I took the opportunity to install Centos 8, whereas before I was using Centos 7.
I selected the default install settings.
The default database is MariaDB 10.4. The server is giving an error that MySQL is not started. I tried to switch from MariaDB to MySQL 8. In CustomBuild 2 in the dropdown to select the database, only MySQL 8 is given as an option, When I build this, it fails and tells me I need to install version 5 first the upgrade
however, when I try this from the command prompt, it also fails there:-
[root@server custombuild]# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
[root@server custombuild]# ./build set mysql_inst mysql
Changed mysql_inst option from mariadb to mysql
[root@server custombuild]# ./build set mysql 5.6
5.6 is not a valid setting for mysql option.
It seems impossible to install MySQL 5 then upgrade to 8 after. Please help?
I am not sure why MariaDB 104 service is not starting in the first place.
Regards

- Executing /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/custombuild/admin/build mysql...
- mysql_inst=mysql is set in the options.conf, but MariaDB is currently installed
- If you wish to use MySQL, please install MySQL 5.5 first, and then you'd be able to upgrade to a newer version of it. Please note that MariaDB 10.x migration to MySQL is considered a downgrade and might not work.
- Done!
