?FreeBSD 13.2 and MySQL 5.6?

[7teendev 2]

Hello,

does anyone know, how to install mysql5.6 on FreeBSD 13.2?

I haven't found a single repo, from where I could take it + I haven't found any usefull informations on this topic. Instalation from ports alreads fails on "mysql56-server-5.6.51 cannot install: unknown MySQL version: 56."

Most of SF can't be run on MySQL 5.7, so I'm looking for your advices

Use MariaDB 10.6.

Even 10.6 is for most SF too much, same as 10.5 and MySQL 5.7..

And If I would install lower version on my OVH VPS, let's say FreeBSD 12.4, I wouldn't have DNS, DHCP and sometimes mount is fucked up.. And if I install 13.2 and take all network settings, I'm still getting no connections what's so ever

13.2 has no issues at all..

There's a readme inside. Tested on 13.1 and 13.2. Probably won't work on 14.x

This is not possible by official way.. Mysql 5.6 is deleted from repo, because is not supported anyway.  Mysql 5.7 is now too outdated (October 21, 2023 end life)

You have 2 options:

1.  Use mysql8 and wrap some database tables (here is no sense to use old mysql - its something like using rain with 404 core..)
2. Use mariadb - also I too using mariadb (10.6) and works like a charm.. I never had any problem with that option

When you have problem with some mysql versions on your server, Im 100% sure this is not problem from mysql..

if you are interesting I can give you easy tutorial for install and settings mariadb (I can with source changes - lib - c connector -> this is not necessary but recommend it.)
