Question
How to switch the database server from MySQL to MariaDB on Plesk for Windows?
Answer
Note: For Linux servers; check: Replacing MySQL with MariaDB and vice versa
MariaDB is already used on all new installations. The following steps are only available for older installations:
- Log in to Plesk
- Go to Tools & Settings > Updates > Add/Remove Components
- Select MariaDB server for installation:
- Click Continue
MariaDB will use the same databases, and should work without additional set up.
