Hello,

does anyone know, how to install mysql5.6 on FreeBSD 13.2?

I haven't found a single repo, from where I could take it + I haven't found any usefull informations on this topic. Instalation from ports always fails on "mysql56-server-5.6.51 cannot install: unknown MySQL version: 56."

Most of SF can't be run on MySQL 5.7, so I'm looking for your advices

Hello, I think that mysql56 was removed from the freebsd pkg, however you can use mysql57 as a replacement for 56 but you must do a special configuration soon I will have it and share it with everyone
