    My apologies if this ends up as a duplicate post, tried to register and the confirmation email wasn’t getting through the work address… anyways

    I’ve got the same issue: Running 1.5.6, trying to upgrade to 1.5.7 on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

    Just tried manually installing the appropriate mariadb packages ( -common, -client and -server)

    Here’s the problem:
    fog-mysql2mariadb.PNG

    Looks like the script isn’t set up to handle the migration from mysql 5.7 to mariadb given the exception that the package manager throws so it scraps the existing install.

    Not sure what avenue you want to take with the script, but it looks like it’s going to break any existing ubuntu installs that are trying to go from mysql to mariadb.

    Ping me if you need any more info, I’ll post back if if make any headway on my install.

      So for anyone else running into this, or if the devs want to make this work in the script, here’s what I had to do to get this upgrade to work:

      • backup fog db
      • perform manual install of mariadb-common, mariadb-server and mariadb-client
      • reboot (services wouldn’t start and play nice, this was the simplest thing, should also be possible without restarting but I didn’t go there)
      • manually create fog db
      • restore fog db from backup
      • git pull and run bin/installfog.sh

      knock wood things are now working as expected and the web interface seems snappier (could just be in my head).

      Cheers

        Aaand it looks like the same bug is present when updating storage nodes…

        Similar process as far as a workaround goes, but without the backup and restore of the fog db as it isn’t part of the storage node.

          @notverypunny Really great you managed to work your way out of this. We had one other user some days ago who ran into the same issue - see here.

          Not sure what avenue you want to take with the script, but it looks like it’s going to break any existing ubuntu installs that are trying to go from mysql to mariadb.

          Not exactly true. Only if you move from a MySQL version 5.7 and earlier up to a newer version - I guess even if you update from MySQL 5.7 to 5.8 you’d run into this on any Ubuntu installation. Can you please let us know which version of Ubuntu you had before going to 18.04.2??

          EDIT: Sorry, I was under the impression that Ubuntu 18.04 did use MySQL later than 5.7 already. I was wrong! Just figured that it was me who caused this in the first place when I added Debian 10 support! https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/fddac44877ebabbf6f01d38d39361179bc6ec04d

          Probably the only thing we can do within the installer is check if MySQL 5.7 is installed and tell people to manually follow the steps outlined. I would not fancy doing this in an automated way within the installer scripts.

          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)

            @Sebastian-Roth

            With 18.04 being a LTS, I expect that they’ll keep mysql alive and well in their repos, or provide migration / upgrade within the distro’s framework. As such, the project’s (fogproject that is) best track might be to keep existing 18.04 installs on mysql unless there’s a compelling reason to force the migration.

            I’m lucky that my fog servers aren’t hosting anything else, but migrating databases if someone has other workloads on the same servers might not be a simple task.

            Cheers

              You are absolutely right here. I just setup a test environment and confirmed the commit posted below is actually causing the issue. Shouldn’t have done that in the first place. I’d happily revert that change back to what it was. But that would mean that you and some others will be reverted back to MySQL 5.7 on the next FOG release again. Very ugly I suppose. I will try to do some testing on what happens when I do this.

              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)

                @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?!?

                  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.

                        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.

                              @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

                                  @Arrowtron said in FOG 1.5.7 Update Database Issue:

                                  There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.
                                  Stop it yourself and try again!

                                  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…

                                  =Update=
                                  accidentally ran command sudo rm -rvf /var/lib

                                  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!

                                      @Arrowtron I am sure you know about there being various places in files and the DB where you have to change the IP address: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address
