You may select the appropriate product to choose the version that you wish to receive. Once you are satisfied with the configuration then select last option 'Ok' to save the configuration, then run 'apt-get update' to load package list. Advanced users can always change the configurations later, depending on their own needs. 1. MySQL Server & Cluster (Currently selected: mysql-5.7) 3. MySQL Preview Packages (Currently selected: Disabled) 2. MySQL Tools & Connectors (Currently selected: Enabled) 4. Ok Which MySQL product do you wish to configure? 1 This configuration program has determined that mysql-5.7 is configured on your system, and has highlighted the most appropriate repository package. If you are not sure which version to install, do not change the auto-selected version. Advanced users can always change the version as needed later. Note that MySQL Cluster also contains MySQL Server. 1. mysql-5.7 2. mysql-8.0 3. mysql-cluster-7.5 4. mysql-cluster-7.6 5.

It is recommended that all new MySQL Server installations use this method going forward. This new authentication plugin requires new versions of connectors and clients, with support for this new 8 authentication (caching_sha2_password). Currently MySQL 8 Connectors and community drivers built with libmysqlclient21 support this new method. Clients built with older versions of libmysqlclient may not be able to connect to the new server. To retain compatibility with older client software, the default authentication plugin can be set to the legacy value (mysql_native_password) This should only be done if required third-party software has not been updated to work with the new authentication method. The change will be written to the file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/default-auth-override.cnf After installation, the default can be changed by setting the default_authentication_plugin server setting. 1. Use Strong Password Encryption (RECOMMENDED) 2. Use Legacy Authentication Method (Retain MySQL 5.x Compatibility) Select default authentication plugin 2 after successful installation trying to start mysql server using old mysql data dir.
