Wordpress/WooCommerce recommending SQL 5.6
« on: June 22, 2016, 04:11:36 PM »
Hi All,

I just updated my WordPress site to WooCommerce 2.6.1 and it is now recommending an update to at least SQL 5.6 (currently 5.1). I run a standard CentOS/CWP set up with Nginx & Varnish & running PHP 5.6 on a small VPS.

Should I be thinking about upgrading to SQL 5.6? Does CWP work with SQL 5.6 and is there a trusted step by step guide?

I found this link in the forums which seems easy, maybe too easy I thought. https://blog.bullten.com/upgrading-mysql-to-5-5-in-centos-web-panel-cwp/ I need easy steps as my talents are in webdesign not server admin.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Recommend you to install mariadb 10.1 which have all the functionality of mysql 5.6 and 5.7

Thanks for the reply Sandeep. MariaDB is unfamiliar to me so I'm a little nervous about trying to integrate it into my server (I have 3 WordPress sites it would affect).

Is WebPanel looking to eventually upgrade SQL versions?

Cause if it's not even compatible with the current WordPress version it's officially obsolete.

Hi.

Wordpress works great with MariaDB and does not have any troubles.

Thanks but migrating from MySQL with a working WordPress/WooCommerce shop to what is an unknown to me sounds risky and scary. I've never worked with MariaDB before and changing to it will bring a new learning curve & could mean huge headaches, lengthy downtime with lost revenue.

Do you think one day they will upgrade SQL?

Ok I think I'll pluck up the courage to change over to MaraDB. Do I just use the 3 commands I found in the following link http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/mysql/change-cwp-from-mysql-to-mariadb-10-1/

Once I perform the above do I just import the databases I saved earlier using PHP Admin?
