Hi Guys

I'm trying to install iRedMail on my existing server that has mysql5.6 already installed, but it wants to install mysql5.5 and packages that use mysql5.5 and this fails everytime.

Is there anyway around this?

Regards
DAnie

You'll have to go through the installer files and remove anything that installs mysql

Re: Ubuntu 14.10 & mysql 5.6 Installation

As mentioned in iRedMail installation guide:

IMPORTANT WARNING: iRedMail is designed to be deployed on a FRESH server system, which means your server does NOT have mail related components installed, e.g. MySQL, OpenLDAP, Postfix, Dovecot, Amavisd, etc. iRedMail will install and configure them for you automatically. Otherwise it may override your existing files/configurations althought it will backup files before modifing, and it may be not working as expected.
