Chapter 3. 3. UPGRADE TO MARIADB 10.3 AND VERIFY SUCCESS
Run the following command to upgrade to MariaDB 10.3:
yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
Output should look something like this:
========================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Архитектура Версия Репозиторий Размер ========================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Установка: MariaDB-client x86_64 10.3.15-1.el7.centos mariadb 11 M замена mariadb.x86_64 1:5.5.60-1.el7_5 MariaDB-compat x86_64 10.3.15-1.el7.centos mariadb 2.8 M замена mariadb-libs.x86_64 1:5.5.60-1.el7_5 MariaDB-server x86_64 10.3.15-1.el7.centos mariadb 24 M замена mariadb-server.x86_64 1:5.5.60-1.el7_5 Установка зависимостей: MariaDB-common x86_64 10.3.15-1.el7.centos mariadb 78 k boost-program-options x86_64 1.53.0-27.el7 base 156 k galera x86_64 25.3.26-1.rhel7.el7.centos mariadb 8.1 M
Once yum does it’s thing, restart the MariaDB daemon:
systemctl restart mariadb
Then verify that the service has started and the installation is complete:
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
The fix for the startup problem is in the article
You should see output similar to the following:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 11
Server version: 10.3.15-MariaDB MariaDB Server
