What about mysql 5 candidate release?

Is there any plans on including mysql 5 candidate release in the repository?

Has anyone installed mysql 5 succesfully on their plesk 7.5.4 machine yet ?
Is plesk even compatible with it ?

Thanks

I havent tried it yet, but yes I've been thinking about doing a combination php5/mysql5 release.

I have installed it on on fedora core 2 , with no problem , but I can't get it to start.

If I type :
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start

I get an error 'Starting MySQL ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL manager or server'

I checked and both manager and server are there.

If try to start the mysql manualy by typing:
> /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &

I get :
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
051019 19:47:17 mysqld ended

Any idea ?

Ok I fixed the problem with mysql , Problem was with permissions and the location of the mysql install so I had to edit the mysql start script little bit.

Ok now I got Mysql 5 fixed but Plesk is not working 100% right. On certain pages it is spitting out query errors.

Does anyone know if Plesk is compatible with mysql 5 ?

You'd be the first guy I knew of to try it. Its certainly not anything officially supported. What parts of PSA are giving you errors? Im sure some other folks here can try it out on their systems to see if it makes a difference.

Yeah sure , Here are the parts that I have found so far that are not working :

1. Clicking on the Domains: link on the left menu , would give a pop up Query Error but would load the page.
2. On domains page : Clicking on any of the domains would cause Query error , in same regard clicking on the view domain report icon would also cause an error
3. Also clicking on Modules button on the left main menu would cause a SQL syntax errors

I Checked most of the other parts and they seemd to be working fine.

From the look of these errors , They don't seem to be too hard to fix, I would have been able to fix them my self if I had unprotected version of plesk.

I talked to SwSoft suport and they say that mysql5 is currently not compatible with Plesk 7.5.4 but the next release will be.

They don't know when the next release will be available.

So in short if you have production enviroment and users who depend on plesk working 100% then don't update to mysql5 until swsoft releases the updates

I believe Plesk isn't even compatible with MySQL 4.x yet, that's why the MySQL 4.x ART RPMs have a 3.23 compatibilty layer thrown in.

PSA 7.5.4 is compatible with 4.1, everything below that only works with Mysql 4.0.
