How to customize the version of MySQL or MariaDB used when installing cPanel for the first time

[ejesgist]

I have followed all the article on How to customize the version of MySQL or MariaDB used when installing cPanel for the first time from https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...sed-when-installing-cPanel-for-the-first-time and this Installation Guide | cPanel & WHM Documentation but still didn't not work

We use this one liner and it always works:

mkdir -p /root/cpanel_profile && echo "mysql-version=10.5" > /root/cpanel_profile/cpanel.config

@ejesgist - can you let us know specifically what isn't working? Did it not install the version you were expecting or did you receive an error during the installer?
