Hello ;
I do this announcement to inform you that the support for MariaBb has been added in our development branch (master). MariaBb is a drop in replacement for MySQL with better performances and some improvements (see MariaDb).
Of course, you must keep in mind that the support for MariaDb is still experimental. Therefore, I would like to thanks in advance all users that will test it.
How to switch to MariaDb
- Make a backup of your current data (optional)
- Make a clone of our git repository or do a pull if you already use it
- Run the i-mscp-autoinstall script as follow:
or with short notation
and then, when you are asked about the server to use for the sql service choose MariaDb server.
NOTICE
For some distributions, we are proposing two versions of MariaDB. You must always choose the version that is equal or greater than your current version of MySQL. Of course, downgrading (eg version 5.5 to 5.1) is still possible but require deletion of the /var/lib/mysql/debian-5.* file that are not managed by the i-MSCP installer.
Also fixed in master
- Fixed #581: Task - Add support for MariaDB
- Fixed #595: Enhancement - Allow per item reconfiguration
- Fixed #599: Bug - Ubuntu auto-installer adapter is broken
- Fixed: APT packages manager must be configured before any package installation
- Fixed: Duplicate entries in sources.list file (Ubuntu)
- Fixed: All mysql secure installation tasks are now done by the i-MSCP installer
- Fixed: Allow usage of remote MySQL server
- Fixed: The diff package is not available for Ubuntu > 12.04 (replaced by diffutils)
- Fixed i-MSCP network daemon should start/stop MySQL server only if installed
- Removed no longer needed Ubuntu maintenance script
Thanks you for using i-MSCP.
