Sorry this is more like a question about forge, but I don't know where else might be a better place to ask this question. I'm really new to server management, and that's why I'm using forge. The problem I ran into is that my app's been using mysql 5.6 features (fulltext search wiht InnoDB), but forge installs mysql 5.5 by default. I don't really know how to upgrade mysql to 5.6. Can you guys please point me to the right direction? Can I still work with forge if I want mysql 5.6 or will I be better off without it?
Thanks so much!
Found the answer myself... Just run this command after you SSH in the server:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6
The Forge recipe "install mysql 5.6" will not work, because when the command is executed, some interaction is expected, eg. you will be asked whether or not you really want to upgrade and you will also be asked to specify a password for root user.
I upgraded my mysql-server this way, but i can't connect to the mysql server via ssh anymore.
Did you have similar issue?
