Upgrade MySQL and MySQL Governor in cPanel CloudLinux based server
First make full mysql backup(including system tables) to safe location.
1) Take the backup of all the databases on the server.
$ mkdir -p ~/mysqlbkp
$ service mysql restart –skip-networking –skip-grant-tables
$ mysql_upgrade
$ mysqldump –all-databases –routines –triggers > ~/mysqlbkp/dbcopy.sql
$ service mysql stop
$ cp -r /var/lib/mysql/mysql ~/mysqlbkp/
$ service mysql start
2) update mysql/governor in the following way:
# yum update governor-mysql –enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
# /usr/share/lve/dbgovernor/db-select-mysql –mysql-version=mysql55
# /usr/share/lve/dbgovernor/db-select-mysql –install-now
installation completed
Note : don’t forgot to recompile php on the server.
3) MYSQL_VERSION can be one of the following:
| auto | default version of MySQL for given OS release (or cPanel settings) |
| mysql50 | MySQL v5.0 |
| mysql51 | MySQL v5.1 |
| mysql55 | MySQL v5.5 |
