Re: Installing MariaDB Binary Tarballs

Hi, I have been trying to install mariadb 10.1.8 from Binary referring this document. But there are no clear cut steps to be followed as I am stumbling upon every step while calling the script mysql_install_db. I am installing this on a clean slate. Am I supposed have / copy any preexisting files to certain directories?

I am getting below error - 

root@localhost:/usr/local/mysql# ./scripts/mysql_install_db  --basedir=/usr/local/mysql 
Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in '/var/lib/mysql' ...

Re: Installing MariaDB Binary Tarballs

You are probably using a configuration file in /etc. Make sure you have your own configuration file, usually in the mariadb server base directory. For example, if the base directory is /usr/local/mysql, you should execute: ./scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql/my.cnf
