Troubleshooting MariaDB Installs on Red Hat/CentOS

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

The following article is about different issues people have encountered when installing MariaDB on Red Hat / CentOS.

In Red Hat / CentOS you can either install a RPM or a tar ball. The RPM is the recommended version, except if you want to install many versions of MariaDB or install MariaDB in a non standard location.

Replacing MySQL

If you removed an MySQL RPM to install MariaDB, note that the MySQL RPM on uninstall renames /etc/my.cnf to /etc/my.cnf.rpmsave.

After installing MariaDB you should do the following to restore your configuration options:

mv /etc/my.cnf.rpmsave /etc/my.cnf

Old not supported configuration options

If you are using any of the following options in your /etc/my.cnf or other my.cnf file you should remove them. This is also true for MySQL 5.1 or newer:

skip-bdb
