Please clarify Doc re: MySQL or MariaDB upgrade in WHM
MySQL or MariaDB Upgrade - Documentation - cPanel Documentation
"Your cPanel & WHM server must run CentOS, CloudLinux", or Red Hat" Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or higher, or Amazon Linux, to upgrade the database server from MySQL to MariaDB. You cannot upgrade to MariaDB on a server that uses CentOS, CloudLinux, or RHEL 5"
This reads contradictory to me vis-a-vis CentOS and CloudLinux - have version numbers been left out? MUST run CentOS ... to upgrade from MySQL to MariaDB CANNOT upgrade to MariaDB on a server that uses CentOS

Hello @ottdev, The version requirement applies to each OS listed before the the number 6 in this sentence: "Your cPanel & WHM server must run CentOS, CloudLinux", or Red Hat" Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or higher, or Amazon Linux, to upgrade the database server from MySQL to MariaDB. You cannot upgrade to MariaDB on a server that uses CentOS, CloudLinux, or RHEL 5"
It's another way of stating CentOS 6 or higher, CloudLinux" 6 or higher, Red Hat" Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or higher. Would you find it helpful to see this information displayed a different way, such as in a chart? Thanks!0 -
"CentOS 6 or higher, CloudLinux" 6 or higher, Red Hat" Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or higher." This way is best. 0 -
Hello @ottdev, I've opened a case with our documentation to inquire about making a change to clarify the OS version requirements. I'll update this thread with the outcome as soon as more information is available. Thank you. 0 -
