I have a client that wants mysql 8 with ubuntu 20.04. does virtualmin support this configuration?

Yes. The old installer actually used it. The new installer uses MariaDB though.

There’s really no difference other than the name, though.

aha…okies. i did not see the old installer in the download link…can you point me as to where i can get the old pro installer?

that doesn’t differentiate between mysql and mariahdb from what i can tell.

i went ahead and removed mariah and manually instlaled mysql and thhen instlaled the php extensions…

Do not use the old installer. That’s not the right way to get MySQL, and it is not a supported configuration.

I don’t recommend MySQL, but if you must use it, it’s easy to get it:

Start with a fresh Ubuntu installation.
Install MySQL server and client packages.
Install Virtualmin using the current install script.

Everything will work as normally.
