I am trying to set up the database and I get stuck at these steps from the Wiki:<br>
<br>
---<br>
Setup MySQL<br>
<br>
We'll need to enable MySQL to load at startup, set some passwords, and create the MythTV database, which we'll populate shortly. The population of this database is handled by mythtvsetup in the next step, and all MythTV add-on module database additions must be done after running mythtvsetup at least one time.<br>
<br>
# /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on<br>
# /sbin/service mysqld start<br>
<br>
Set the MySQL root password.<br>
<br>
mysql_secure_installation<br>
<br>
Now we create the MythTV database (called mythconverg) to get us started:<br>
<br>
$ mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/doc/mythtv-docs-0.<u></u>26.0/database/mc.sql<br>
---<br>
<br>
How do I accomplish the same steps with mariadb?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
MariaDB is an equivalent for mysql. Once you have it installed, the same commands work.<br>
</div></blockquote>
<br>
What do you mean, "same commands??????<br>
<br>
Do you mean I substitute "mardiadb" for "mysql" or not? Either way, it didn't work for me. Perhaps because I had already installed and uninstalled mysql. It looks like I'll have to reinstall Fedora.<br>
<br>
And I take that by "equivalent for sql" you mean that I don't install mysql, only maridb. Is that right?<br>
<br>
Are there any plans to revise the Wiki <<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Fedora" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/<u></u>Installing_MythTV_on_Fedora</a>> to install maridb instead of mysql?<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">No. MariaDB substitutes for mysql. On my Fedora 19 system, typing "mysql --version" yields: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.31-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So just use the old "mysql" commands and it will be fine. No need to install mysql along side MariaDB.<br></div></div>
