MySQL/MariaDB Upgrade

theoxgr · Jul 6, 2015

i am currently using CENTOS 6.6 x86_64 standard – WHM 11.50.0 (build 22) with MySQL 5.5.

my hosting clients use joomla 2.5, joomla 3.0, wordpress, prestashop and i also use whm sonic and centova for streaming.

is it safe for me to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 using the whm interface?
will there be any errors or will it break any databases / files on my server?

Hello

You don't generally see many compatibility issues with scripts when upgrading from MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6. That being said, MySQL offers the following document that explains what to look out for:

Thank you.
