    Hi all,

    Just need simple/step by step on how to downgrade mariadb 10.1.X to mysql 5.7.x. Currently having trouble restoring joomla site using akeeba restore. Tested/restoring with the same version of mysql ok. FYI, i am testing it on my vbox using centos 7 + centminmod .09beta. Please advise. Thanks!

    Providing more details about "having trouble" will be more easy to help you :)

    For downgrading to mysql 7 don't know as Centminmod support MariaDB and at least for me never had any issues....

    how did you restore and backup the data ? mysqldump to sql and restore is only valid way between major mysql versions

    specific error messages or symptoms would help also check mysql error logs - see FAQ 19

    Currently Centmin Mod is MariaDB only so downgrading to MySQL 5.7 would introduce issues if you did not downgrade properly. Best to figure out how to get MariaDB 10.1 to work

    This is the error I get when I want it to restore the joomla site via akeeba wizard.

    Database server error reply:

    ErrNo #0
    SQL=CREATE TABLE `dgcex_akeeba_common` ( `key` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `value` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`key`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    Raw query text:

    CREATE TABLE `#__akeeba_common` ( `key` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `value` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`key`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

    I have set the collation type to utfmb4. What else could it be wrong? The original site is using Mysql 5.7.x.

    Failed to execute SQL : SQL CREATE TABLE `#__akeeba_common` ( `key` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `value` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`key`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci failed : Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes.

    Can i change the max col size?

    check you have innodb_large_prefix enabled and file format = Barracuda which is default enabled in Centmin Mod 123.09beta01's MariaDB 10.1 config
    Code (Text):
    mysqladmin var | egrep 'innodb_large_prefix|innodb_file_format ' | tr -s ' '
| innodb_file_format | Barracuda |
| innodb_large_prefix | ON |

    then edit the sql backup file's table create lines to add
    Code (Text):
    ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC

    see Using innodb_large_prefix to avoid ERROR 1071 - Mechanics of Flite

    Basically, the akeeba wizard wasn't smart enough to backup to sql the tables with ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC when charset/collation is set to utf8mb4. Strange though MySQL 5.7 also requires DYNAMIC row_format set so should of been part of your table create backup anyway if original server also used utf8mb4 and was working.
