Hi Community,

It's valuable to us to know which MySQL versions do you use.

Thanks

I think version 5.6 is still more widely used.

Espo crashed on me the last time I tried updating to 5.7, I really want to upgrade!

is it a "must" to espocrm's functionning to lock its install at mysql 5.7 version?

Quite an old thread. I'm on MariaDB too so wouldn't know issue with MySQL.

Yes, minimum requirement is 5.7, if you try to install on lower version it get error. I think in EspoCRM v7, MySQL5.7 might get obsolete. I know PHP 5 was no longer supported after EspoCRM v6

See here for requirement https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat.../#requirements

Do you know what is the reason for v5.7 requirement? and WHY it wouldn't work with 5.6?
i'm on a shared server .. on OVH, which doesn't seem to be ready to be upgraded to 5.7, unfortunately (I won't change my hosting plan now)

That is a question for the developer to be able to answer, my guess is that the coding changed, code that only usable in 5.7 but not 5.6.

You might as well just stay with an older version of EspoCRM until you can update or willing to change server.
