  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question MariaDB and default socket with ubuntu 18.04

dmathis

New Pleskian
I got Plesk installed a while ago with mariadb, now unfortuantely mysql_upgrade fails because it cannot find the socket. Actually Plesk did auto-update, and I suppose mariadb got also updated, which triggered the mysql_upgrde, which failed (which lead to an error 500, same as this one).

By default the socket is here: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
But the mysql client looks for it in:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

So I run
Code:
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
and rerurn mysql_upgrade with
Code:
MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin --force
and that fixed it, Plesk worked again.


The question is now, what is the best practice here?
- Should I alter my.cnf to create the socket at the proper place?
- Did I wrongly installing MariaDB for Plesk?
- Or should I reinstall Plesk using MySQL instead of MariaDB?
