What is MariaDB?

MariaDB is a backward compatible, drop-in replacement branch of MySQL® Database Server which includes all major open source storage engines, including the Maria storage engine.

You can find the MariaDB code at Launchpad, and download binaries at Download.

MariaDB is community developed, in collaboration with Monty Program. Our ambition is to make MariaDB the best open and free branch of MySQL Database Server for the enduser, developer and partner communities.

As long as you turn off mysql upgrades in whm you should be alright. I haven't tried MariaDB yet but have used the patched releases by Percona on a few of our customer's VPS without any issues.

Hello Eva2000

I would realy like to learn the specific steps you did to manually upgraded MySQL 5.0.91 in cPanel to MariaDB 5.2.4 in Cpanel. I would like to set this up on my new VPS which is running CentOS 5.5 with no databases.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you.

As far as I can read at Downloads - MariaDB - AskMonty, MariaDB requires CentOS 5 as basic platform? Won't work on CentOS 4?
