[gargamelt 10]

Sometimes there is a need to use older software because there are compatibility problems with the current one. Often such a case in the metin2 server is a mysql server where there are differences between versions of mysql /mariadb and releases /5.6 /8.0. To avoid this hassle there is a way to install mysql56-server mysql56-client on any release of Freebsd up to 14 x64.

To do this just do the following:
1. download the files

2. install mysql56 

pkg install mysql56-client-5.6.51.pkg mysql56-server-5.6.51.pkg

3. check if the library files are already installed

find / -iname "libssl.so.111" && find / -iname "libcrypto.so.111"

this command should this result as they are installed

/usr/lib/libssl.so.111
/lib/libcrypto.so.111

If it shows nothing means that we have to install them manually

tar -xzf libs_64bit_mysql.tgz -C /

3.now we have mysql56 installed and proceed as standard

sysrc mysql_enable=YES
service mysql-server start
mysql_secure_installation

The rest is done exactly the same as with any other mysql server, then just add the user and install the databases.
