MariaDB 10.0 Stable version has been released and available to install using yum package manager. Today we have upgrading TecAdmin.net database server from MariaDB 5.5 to MariaDB 10.0 using Yum. This upgrade goes very smooth for me. But be carefully and keep backup for you all database to recovery from unnecessary damage.
Step 1: Backup Databases
We recommend to backup all your databases before upgrading mariadb. You can use any tool as per your preference to do it. For this example i am taking a full backup of all databases using mysqldump.
# mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > alldb.sql
Step 2: Add MariaDB Yum Repository
For this tutorial we assumes you are running the CentOS-6 system, Create yum repository configuration file /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo and add the below configuration.
For CentOS-6 64 Bit:
[mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.0/centos6-amd64 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1
For CentOS-6 32 Bit:
[mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.0/centos6-x86 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1
For Other versions, you can use mariadb repository generator tool.
Step 3: Upgrade MariaDB
To avoid any conflict firstly i would recommend to remove any existing MariaDB/MySQL installation done.
# yum remove mysql MySQL-server MySQL-shared MySQL-shared-compat MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
The above command should remove all packages depending on MariaDB/MySQL, Lets use following command to install MariaDB 10.0.
# yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
It may be php-mysql package has removed during uninstallation of MariaDB 5.5. So install it also.
# yum install php-mysql
Finally start MariaDB, update data files, Also restart Apache service
# service mysql start # mysql_upgrade # service httpd restart
Step 4: Verify MariaDB Upgrade
After upgrading there is nothing to do. If everything goes fine, all your databases should be there. Let’s connect to MariaDB service using old password.
# mysql -p Enter password: Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or g. Your MariaDB connection id is 4 Server version: 10.0.10-MariaDB-log MariaDB Server Copyright (c) 2000, 2014, Oracle, SkySQL Ab and others. Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the current input statement. MariaDB [(none)]>

Hi Rahul, I am glad about your useful posts.. Can you please tell me what package should I be adding to /etc/yum.repos.d/ for the below command to work –
yum install openstack-heat-api openstack-heat-api-cfn openstack-heat-engine
Currently, it throws the below three lines of error –
No package openstack-heat-api available.
No package openstack-heat-api-cfn available.
No package openstack-heat-engine available.
I am a newbie in linux especially with admin stuff. Any info will be of great help.
I followed the instructions you gave me (omitting the redundant -p flag in two places) and was successful in upgrading to 10.0.29-MariaDB.
The only casualty was that php.ini was removed as part of removing dependencies.
I recompiled apache-php and this restored php.ini.
If you are already logged into the root with SSH, use this to backup the databases instead:
mysqldump -u root –all-databases > alldb.sql
i.e., omit the extra -p flag which is asking for an additional password and may give you an error.
^^ before yum upgrade do:
shell> yum clean all
All I did was: (MariaDB 5.5 to MariaDB 10.1)
# Create or Update /etc/yum.repo.d/MariaDB.repo
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
enabled=1
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
#Backup all databases to /root/tmp/
1. cd /root/tmp
2 . shell > mysqldump –all-databases > all_databases.sql
# If you have exclusions in /etc/yum.conf, you should comment them out
#yum upgrade
1. shell > yum upgrade
