Question

How can you tell what version of MySQL® or MariaDB is running?

Answer

  1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user
  2. Run the following command:
MySQL/MariaDB 10 and below

# mysqladmin version

MariaDB 11+

Note: MariaDB 11 has deprecated the usage of the mysql* symlinks to its own tools, and a warning will be displayed if used. The MariaDB-provided versions of these commands will be required to be used starting with this version of MariaDB.

# mariadb-admin version
