Hello Team,


We have been using CentOS 6.9 web server with the PHP version 5.6 and MySQL version 5.5. There are so many websites are running now. Currently magento version 2 is required MySQL version 5.6 that's why we need to upgrade MySQL version from 5.5 to 5.6. In this upgrade time we also want to upgrade our PHP version from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7 on our CentOS 6.9 web server.

It will be great help if anyone suggest me how can I do this. I mean to say easy and best way without any data loss.

Regards,
Tarak Nath

Please help me, any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi taru.tarak,

A good suggestion is to wait about 24 hours for other persons to see your thread and consider if they have any suggestions or further questions.

If you feel that another technical forum might be more suitable, please use the report button to ask that your thread be moved. There is a Linux Server forum and also a CentOS specific forum, but meanwhile the Newbie forum is also a good place for this question.

My partial answer (not knowing much about the particular software you are asking about) is that you really should stop the server, upgrade it, and then restart it or get the software back to a running state. To avoid loss of data for something like this, you may wish to have a mirror system process the required data.
