Upgrading to latest stable Mysql version on Readynas NV+ V2
Hi, I have issues with a stable database connection between the Mysql database on the NAS and KODI devices on the network. For some reason the connection constantly brakes which gives issues with...
Hi StephenB
Thanks for the tip. Yes the PHP version for the R5 OS goes only to 5.6. I will reach out and see what they give back as answer. :-)
Just downed on me. Are we talking about the same thing? The Mysql needs upgrading, not the PHP. Mysql is by default installed on the Readynas NV+ v2 and is not related to the PHP Apps bought on RNXtras.
Its current version is 5.1.49-3
Anyway I can upgrade Mysql manually to 5.7 on the NAS?

Somehow I got stuck on PHP - not sure why.
I don't own a v2, so I have no personal experience with that NAS. My understanding for the v1 is that mysql was only used for ReadyPhotos, and wasn't used by the NAS itself. It's also not used by OS 6. But I don't have any real information on for OS 5 (v2). mdgm might know though.
So I do suggest making sure you have a current backup before you begin. Then you could try logging in as root with ssh and entering
# apt-get update
# apt-get install mysql-serverSince the server is already installed, that will do an upgrade (assuming a newer version is in the apt repository).
Note that apt-get upgrade isn't a good idea, and there are some old posts here that warn against doing that in an v2 nas. For instance here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Is-it-safe-to-use-apt-get/m-p/970002#M91639
I had the same issue, I also started thinking of PHP. Maybe because of the similarity in versions. :-)
Thanks for the "simple" solution. Yes I will give it a try after christmas. Looking forward to any additional info mdgm might have.
Enjoy your time ahead. :-)
