Re: Installing MariaDB on CentOS [Answer]

Hi,

As far as I can see, CentOS comes with MySQL 5.1, so you would most likely have a similar problem upgrading to MySQL 5.5 as well.

You need to remove older MySQL packages first, e.g. to run 

sudo yum remove mysql-server mysql

(and whichever else mysql* packages cause the conflict), and then install MariaDB server as you already did.

Don't forget to backup your data before the upgrade, it is always the good practice.
