Is it possible to downgrade MySQL on a Plesk server?

Posted on August 22, 2024August 22, 2024 by admin

MySQL does not support downgrading a database version, and Plesk does not natively support multiple local instances on Linux servers (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377060524439-Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-MySQL-MariaDB-instances-on-Plesk-for-Linux). As an alternative, there are two possible solutions that you can consider:

  • You can add an external MySQL server to Plesk by:
    • Deploying a MySQL 5.6 Docker Container:

    • Deploying an external MySQL DB server and adding it to Plesk manually:
