  • 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.

How do I upgrade to MySQL 5.7 if my Plesk Onyx Package Manager for Windows Server 2012 R2 does not include v5.7? It only includes v5.6.
 
Hi DroningAround.com,

pls. read and follow the official MySQL - documentation, because Plesk does not ship MySQL: => http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/windows-upgrading.html


Hi UFHH01,

My Environment:
VPS with Windows Server 2012 R@
Plesk Onyx
Plesk installed MySQL 5.6
I am migrating 3 WordPress websites from a VPS each using MySQL 5.7

Therefore:
  1. Should I remove MySQL 5.6 through Plesk's Component Manager first before I proceed with the MySQL Link instructions you provided?
  2. Also Horde Webmail and Spam Assassin are installed both using MySQL 5.6.
    1. Should I remove these from the Plesk Component Manager as well, or leave them and let the MySQL 5.7 upgrade these?
    2. I don't think Horde Webmail and Spam Assassin install packages in the Plesk Component Manager like MySQL 5.7.
  3. Next, would you recommend a complete removal of MySQL 5.6 and a fresh install, or an in place overwrite from the Zip file install as detailed?
  4. Then, would you leave the default MySQL 5.7 installation settings in the my.ini file or change them to the Plesk Data Location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plesk\Databases\MySQL\data" but instead make a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plesk\Databases\MySQL\data57" data folder?

I don't understand why Plesk Onyx supports MySQL 5.7 but doesn't include an installation package in the Plesk Component Manager.
 
Ever resolved this issue?
Is it safe to install MySQL 5.6 using the Plesk Component Manager, overwriting MySQL 5.1 in the process?

Thanks.
