How to Customize the version of MySQL database in cPanel

In this article, you will find the procedure of Customizing the version of the MySQL database, when installing cPanel for the first time.

It is possible to preconfigure a cPanel installation so that your desired version of MySQL is installed from the start.

Let’s follow the Procedure to Customize the version of the MySQL database:

On the server with no cPanel installed, create the following file:

/root/cpanel_profile/cpanel.config
