I have a cPanel installed on a CentOS server and it includes an old version of Mysql. Has anyone tried upgrading Mysql to 5.5 on a cPanel managed server? If so, I would really like some guidance. I read, on the cPanel forum, that it's not supported and one user complained, after manually upgrading his version of Mysql, cPanel automatically removed it, but that was a long time ago. Also, I'm a newbie to Linux, so please forgive any dumb questions. Help... Thanks. |

however possible it may be to install custom versions of server software shipped with cPanel, they are untested and if they don't break immediately, will almost certainly break at a subsequent cPanel version bump/upgrade. one brave sole reported losing databases after doing it - make sure to backup /var/lib/mysql if you want to attempt this. I wouldn't do it unless you don't care what happens to the server. |

FYI, WHM 11.32 will support MySQL 5.5 officially http://vbtechsupport.com/1254/ :) |

you can make with one just click from the WHM. I did that, and I had only but troubles the mysql server was freezing without any reason. I've downgraded back to 5.1 even if the downgrade isn't officially supported by mysql |
