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
To install with MySQL 5.6 populate the file with the following:
mysql-version=5.6
MySQL 5.7:
mysql-version=5.7
Then run the cPanel installer as you would normally.
In this way, the version of the MySQL database is customized when you are installing the cPanel for the first time.
