Hi,

I have to change servers but with the same host. The new server only supports mysql and currently I’m using mariadb.
They have requested I check that this will be ok:

[quote]On the old server mysql version is 10.3.38-MariaDB and on the new server mysql 8.0.32 Due to in-compatibility of the version you may face issues with your websites and for this you will need to involve your developer in it. So please get it confirmed with your developer once[/quote]

Please can you advise.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve
That shouldn't be a problem. Just get a dump of the database via phpMyAdmin from the old server and import that SQL file to the new one. But with all server moves what I make sure is that everything is working on the new server before ditching the old one.

Hi Vince,

Yes, hopefully all will go smoothly. I have several ECT sites to migrate but plan to move the one with least traffic first so should get an idea if all is well before switching the others.

Thanks,

Steve

Just to complete this thread incase anyone else needs to do this -
I have migrated the site and database (mariadb 10.3.38 to mysql 8.0.32) and all seems well.
