===Draft notes on installing mariadb 'alongside' mysql===

# yum repos aren't useful; use the side-by-side install
# Install mariadb side-by-side with mysql on SME Server v8
# From: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-alongside-mysql/
#
# create user 'mariadb' in server-manager
#
cd ~
mkdir -p addons
cd addons
RELEASE=5.5.34
wget https://downloads.mariadb.org/interstitial/mariadb-$RELEASE/kvm-bintar-hardy-x86/mariadb-$RELEASE-linux-i686.tar.gz/from/http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/mariadb
cd /opt
tar zxvf ~/addons/mariadb-$RELEASE-linux-i686.tar.gz
ln -s mariadb-$RELEASE-linux-i686 mariadb
mkdir mariadb-data
cp mariadb/support-files/my-medium.cnf mariadb-data/my.cnf
#
# edit my.cnf as described on the mariadb-alongside-mysql howto (link above)
chown -R mariadb:mariadb mariadb-data mariadb mariadb-$RELEASE-linux-i686
#
cp mariadb/support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mariadb
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mariadb
#
# edit /etc/init.d/mariadb as described in the howto
#
cd /opt/mariadb
scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/opt/mariadb-data/my.cnf
cd /etc/init.d
chkconfig --add mariadb
chkconfig --levels 3 mariadb on
# SME Server uses runlevel 7...
mv /etc/rc3.d/S64mariadb /etc/rc7.d
#
# customizations not mentioned in the howto:
mkdir /var/run/mariadb
chown mariadb:maridb /var/run/mariadb
#
# customize the execution line in /etc/init.d/mariadb
#
# version from howto:
# $bindir/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/opt/mariadb-data/my.cnf --datadir="$datadir" --pid-file="$mysqld_pid_file_path" $other_args >/dev/null 2>&1 &
#
# version I'm using:
# $bindir/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/opt/mariadb-data/my.cnf --datadir="/opt/mariadb-data" --pid-file="/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid" $other_args >/dev/null 2>&1 &
#
# Finally, testing access requires asking for a password, then entering an empty password (SME feeds the 'root'@'localhost' password to mysql by default:
# mysql -e "SELECT VERSION();" --port=3307 --protocol=TCP -p
#
# set root password in mariadb same as root password in mysql
mysql --port=3307 --protocol=TCP -p < /var/service/mysqld/set.password
#
# Now the example version check from the howto works:
mysql -e "SELECT VERSION();" --socket=/opt/mariadb-data/mariadb.sock
