Thanks, but I was hoping for someone with experience in this update (IE: have done this update), to see if there are nuances that may cause an issue. While I can see from your information that it should run properly on 5.7, I was wondering specifically if there are known issues when updating from 5.6 to 5.7 ... if that makes sense. And of course I would make backups just in case, as that is upgrade 101 ...

Make backups of everything just in case.

I'm assuming I can just hop into the WHM and upgrade mysql without any issues and just want to confirm my assumption...
Thanks for any information provided!
Ya, I have Maria DB on my devserver and it works fine, so I might upgrade to maria db on the production side as well... If you do hit the button before I do, feel free to reply back here and let us know how your experience was. If I beat ya to it, I'll post here as well and let you know how it went.
If a million people have done this and there was no problem, you would not read about it here.bipolarmorgan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:37 am I'm surprised this hasn't come up with anyone yet ... I would have figured someone would have backed up their db and bit the proverbial bullet and upgraded their mysql by now.
I'm definitely contemplating going to MariaDB instead of MySQL ... anyone have thoughts on this?bipolarmorgan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:37 amYa, I have Maria DB on my devserver and it works fine, so I might upgrade to maria db on the production side as well...

I did do some research and am aware of this. And as always, I know the golden rule - BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP... But any experience with this upgrade?
And by similar tools, will a mysqldump work as a backup to import into MariaDB ? I'm reading also that I must go to version 10.0 of MariaDB from MySQL 5.6 ....
Might be best moving it in to phpBB Discussion
