Pre-Flight Check
- These instructions are intended for installing MariaDB on a single Fedora 20 node.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
Install MariaDB
MariaDB is as simple as running just one command:
yum -y install mysql-server mysql
And then start MySQL, now MariaDB:
systemctl start mysqld
Be sure that MySQL/MariaDB starts at boot:
systemctl enable mariadb
To check the status of MySQL/MariaDB:
systemctl status mysqld
To top MySQL/MariaDB:
systemctl stop mysqld
Check the installation with the command client:
mysql
Your MariaDB connection id is 2
Server version: 5.5.39-MariaDB-wsrep MariaDB Server, wsrep_25.10.r4014
