I was trying to install postfix and had a it had wanted to install a different version of mySQL... I did a rpm -ev --nodeps MySQL56-server-5.6.39-1.cp1162.x86_64 and postfix installed, but need to get MySQL56-server-5.6.39-1.cp1162.x86_64 back, it appears I can't connect to my database. Is it possible to re-install MySQL56-server-5.6.39-1.cp1162.x86_64?

  OK, solved it... removed postfix and the version of mySQL that it installed. Then went into WHM -> cPanel -> upgrade to latest version (checked force install). I got the cPanel version of mySQl back. Had to manually change passwords and add users and permissions as needed...I hadn't backed up any databases but looks like I got lucky because they were saved in /var/lib/mysql/mysql I'm back in business. This thread can be closed.
