Hi Ports,
Just doing pre-upgrade testing to 5.7 and just wanted to share a few points that might need to be added to faq/upgrade57.html: MariaDB mysql replacement wouldn't start. Uncommenting the following in the /etc/my.cnf got it to start: innodb_data_home_dir = /var/mysql innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/mysql Then I could get it started to issue: mysql_upgrade Once mysql_upgrade has been run, you can then comment the lines back out. mysql/mariadb could restart and run as per normal without throwing up errors in the log. Upgrading/installing php-fpm from 5.5 to 5.6: With php-fpm, it appears that the configuration file (/etc/php-fpm.conf) is missing the mandatory: user=www Without it, it won’t start. This isn’t an issue if you bring over your configuration files but might catch users out that are doing initial installs. That is all I have found so far. I’ll advise if I come across anything else. Cheers, Jason.
