    Hello,

    I am going to install ISPconfig 3 on a Centos 6.5 server, and I am wondering of what version of Mysql will be installed on it, because during Mysql installation via yum I noticed it will install old version 5.1. Instead I need more recent version 5.5.

    Is there a way to install Mysql 5.5 on Centos? Will ISPconfig work anyway?

    Thank you.

    ISPConfig will work with Centos 5.5 as well. If you use mysql 5.6, then you will have to disable strict trans tables option in my.cnf file.

    Maybe you have misunderstood what I wrote. I meant Mysql 5.5, not Centos 5.5.

    I need to install Mysql 5.5 on Centos 6.5, but Centos repository only installs Mysql 5.1.

    I understood you correctly. Just a typo on my side. Replace the word centos with mysql ;)

    Ok sorry :)

    So ISPconfig will work with MySQL 5.5 under CentOS, but .... how can I install MySQL 5.5 under CentOS? As I said, on CentOS repository there's only MySQL 5.1. Should I necessarily install it from a third-party repository (e.g. Remi)? Could I encounter problems by doing so?

    Thank you.

    You will have to install mysql from a different repo if you need a newer version and this might cause dependency conflicts. Personally I do not use Centos for this reason (package conflicts). If you have the option to use Debian or Ubuntu instead, then you should really consider that. Your servers etup will be more stable over the long run as Debian and Ubuntu offer all required packages in recent versions (not brand new, but ok for my purposes) from one repository.
