Hello,

My host's servers will soon be migrated from EasyApache 3 to EasyApache 4 and from MySQL 5.5+ to MariaDB 10.2

PHP versions will still be available as before, as we are using Cloudlinux on all our managed servers.

I've been notified that it will provide better security and performance using the newer software releases available, but also it means that websites might experience different issues related to using too old code paths or software / library versions for which you'll need your developers help.

For example, migrating from MySQL 5.5+ means that strict mode will be enabled by default, so that means you'll need to check with your developer to make sure the values inserted into your databases / tables are valid. Also the password hash format of your MySQL user names needs to be updated (by simply updating your password) from the old pre 4.1 format to the newer format.

Has anyone experienced a similar software update and if so did it require any changes to be made in Piwigo?

Thanks,
John

Piwigo version: Piwigo 2.9.3
