Configure VestaCP on Ubuntu 14.04 to use MySQL 5.6
On this forum somewhere I found that VestaCP install script uses the default MySQL version for the OS that it is being installed on.
The OS I'm using in a VM is Ubuntu 14.04 Server, which means the default MySQL version is 5.5, however due to somebody else's configuration of one of our databases, I need it to use MySQL 5.6. I know I can manually install MySQL 5.6 without a cpanel but am unsure as to how to install it through VestaCP as I do so love this control panel.
Any help is much appreciated.

EDIT: To elaborate a little more, I suppose upgrading from 5.5 to 5.6 post-install is an option as well if that doesn't pose any problems to VestaCP's configuration.

As it turns out, it was as simple as installing MySQL 5.6 manually after a fresh Ubuntu + VesaCP installation.
Installed VestaCP as normal after doing apt-get update and upgrade.
Rebooted and ran:
Rebooted again and happy days, VestaCP seems to be fine with the upgrade, user still works.
Thanksfully I don't have any schemas in the database before upgrading, but from what I've read, that would still work as well as MySQL performs the upgrade automagically.

Were you already running a website on the server?
I currently have wordpress running on it, and its in production/live website with good amount of traffic.
I don't want to risk doing something stupid. Can you guide me if everything went smooth?
Also I need to learn about the PHP version. By default with VestaCP install command I got "5.5.9-1ubuntu4.17" where as wordpress is now asking to upgrade this to ver5.6 as well.
