'''Installing and running MariaDB via [[Software collections]]'''
Software Collections has been introduced by Redhat as a safe way to run selective applications on Redhat based distributions in an isolated environment (separate directory), thus not effecting the base installation of the OS. This provides the possibility to e.g. test an application, install a higher version then the version installed by the base system (e.g. PHP), or temporarily use an application.
Software Collections applications can be started at boot as a system service, manually or in a specific shell.
==MariaDB==
===Installation===
To be able to install an application from the Software Collections, one '''must''' install software collections first. Please see [[Software collections]] on how to install this.
====Required repository====
After installing Software Collections, the [http://wiki.contribs.org/Scl#tab=Mariadb55 '''scl'''] repository for Mariadb has to be added to the yum repositories. Please see [http://wiki.contribs.org/Scl#tab=Mariadb55 '''here'''] on how the enable the [http://wiki.contribs.org/Scl#tab=Mariadb55 '''scl-mariadb55'''] repository.
====Install application====
After installing the scl-mariadb55 repository, MySQL can be installed by issuing the following command:
yum install mariadb55 --enablrepo=scl-mariadb55
Once installed, the application is installed on your SME Server at '''/opt/rh/mariadb55-''' as an isolated environment for the application.
Only '''1''' service script has been installed on your base SME Server which is '''/etc/rc.d/init.d/mariadb55-mariadb'''. This script will start and stop the installed application.
====Test installed application====
Once Mariadb has been installed, you can check if it is correctly installed by issuing:
scl -l
which will provide you a listing of all applications that are available on your system installed via Software Collections.
A simple man page about the installed application is now available via:
scl enable mariadb55 'man mariadb55'
press 'q' to leave the man page
===Changes to my.cnf configuration file===
Now that the scl version of Mariadb is installed, the /opt/rh/mariadb55/root/etc/my.cnf configuration file has to be adjusted so that the scl version of MariaDB does not interfere with the standard version of MySQL. The default port of MySQL is 3306, for the scl version of MySQL we will use port 3307, but this can be any port of your choosing. The default socket file is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, for the scl version of MariaDB we will use /var/lib/mysql/mariadb55.sock.
/opt/rh/mariadb55/root/etc/my.cnf will then be:
<nowiki>
[mariadbd]
datadir=/opt/rh/mariadb55/root/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mariadb55.sock
port=3307
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
# Settings user and group are ignored when systemd is used.
# If you need to run mysqld under different user or group,
# customize your systemd unit file for mysqld according to the
# instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
[mariadbd_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mariadb55-mariadbd.log
pid-file=/opt/rh/mariadb55/root/var/run/mysqld/mariadbd.pid
</nowiki>
===Start/Stop MariaDB===
{{Note box|How to connect to maridb55, for using 'mysql' will invoke the CLI of the standard MySQL version and not the scl version. Not even when trying to start /opt/rh/maridb55/bin/mysql, it will invoke the 'old' MySQL.}}
MariaDB is now installed and can be started and stopped manually via:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mariadb55-mysqld start
and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mariadb55-mysqld stop
====Start/Stop MariaDB as a system service====
Issue the following commands as root:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99mariadb55-mariadbd
chkconfig maridb55-mysqld on
config set maria55-mysqld service
config setprop mariadb55-mysqld status enabled
The application will now automatically start at boot time as a system service.
====Configure private/public access====
If your SME Server is hosting the application and is being accessed by other hosts either locally (LAN) or remotely (WAN) the ports and access privileges need to be set. For this issue the following commands (where 5432 is the port that MariaDB can be reached on):
config setprop maridb55-mysqld TCPPort 3307
config setprop mariadb55-mysqld UDPPort 3307
config setprop mariadb55-mysqld access private
followed by the event to update the firewall rules:
signal-event remoteaccess-update
You can toggle between private and public access followed by the remoteaccess-update command.
