      @notverypunny In a test setup I was able to revert back to mysql 5.7 without much trouble. It seems to be able to use the database that mariadb used as well. The only issue I see is that the systemd service files seemed corrupted on my test system:

      ls -lah /etc/systemd/system/ | grep -e maria -e mysql
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   35 Jul 22 20:10 mysqld.service -> /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   27 Jul 22 21:16 mysql.service -> /lib/systemd/system/mariadb
      

      So I am still wondering if it’s a good idea to simply revert the change back to mysql-client mysql-server or if I need to add a check and if someone is on MariaDB already I just leave it alone?!?

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        I would add a check, assuming that the logic isn’t too much to code. MariaDB is the better db at this point from what I can see and I should think that most people would prefer it, especially on a new install.

          Did you guys find a fix for this? I’ve just upgraded from 1.5.6 to 1.5.7 and the MariaDB service won’t start.

          Thanks,

            @FlangeMonkey When releasing 1.5.7 we did not expect this to be an issue but it turned out that moving from MySQL 5.7 to MariaDB is not yet properly supported by Ubuntu. It doesn’t do a merge of the DB over to the new version but simply shuts down the old MySQL DB (usually find that in /var/lib/mysql-5.7/) and creates a fresh empty new one for MariaDB.

            and the MariaDB service won’t start.

            While this sounds a bit different I can still imagine this being a similar case. Please run sudo systemstl status mariadb and post output here. As well run ls -al /var/lib | grep mysql and post here.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              For all other users on Ubuntu out there. Please if you intend to update, use the current developer release 1.5.7.2 instead of plain 1.5.7 or wait till the next release is out. I just pushed out a fix that should address this current issue.

                updated from 1.5.6 to 1.5.7, get the same issue as everyone is describing
                changed to dev branch 1.5.7.2 re-installed to see if it would fix it. still the same

                I am able to get into MariaDB with mysql -u root -p

                  clicked Install/update now and can now see the dashboard, looks very empty. I will look more into this tomorrow

                    @Arrowtron Sorry to hear you have run into this as well. Unfortunately upgrading to 1.5.7.2 doesn’t help when you have gone to 1.5.7 already. We don’t do this as an automatic fix in the scripts as I find it too error prone to do in a scripted kind of way.

                    You should still have your “old” and valid database in /var/lib/mysql-5.7. Please follow the steps outlined below and I hope you should be right back up again:

                    sudo -i
                    mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql-mariadb
                    apt-get remove mariadb-client mariadb-server
                    cp -a /var/lib/mysql-5.7 /var/lib/mysql
                    apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server
                    systemctl start mysql
                    

                    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                      You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
                      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
                       mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.7 but it is not going to be installed
                      E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

                      accidentally ran command sudo rm -rvf /var/lib
                      (thought i was typing in a new line, working too quick, was backing up mysql and purging etc) Going to start a fresh i think

                        Did you run apt-get remove mariadb-client mariadb-server before that? Kind of strange but you might have to kill the old DB process like this killall -9 mysqld…

                        I am sure you have a backup of that machine! Do you? Just recover that directory from your backup and proceed.

                        Run apt --fix-broken install as suggested in the output and post what you get from this.

                          Yes i ran

                          apt-get remove mariadb-client mariadb-server
                          

                          Didn’t try this command, it might have helped for the unmet dependencies problem

                          killall -9 mysqld
                          

                          Yes i have some SQL backup’s from previous upgrade which I have restored onto a new server (just had to change IP’s etc which is fine)
                          It’s on a virtual machine where as physical before, snapshots will come in handy for next time!

                          Yes ran the apt --fix broken install and got the unmet dependencies for mysql errors. Didn’t have the time to keep looking into it

                          All goods, thanks for your help though!
