Mariadb Installation Problem

Ask Fedora

I need to install MariaDB and then LAMP but it seems i have a problem here. So i follow the official Fedora Wiki instructions, according to that, first i need to install mariadb and mariadb server. When i run dnf install mariadb mariadb-server the return is: Package mysql-community-client-8.0.17-1.fc30.x86_64 is already installed. Package mysql-community-server-8.0.17-1.fc30.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!

So i already installed MariaDB, it seems, but when i run systemctl start mariadb the return is: Failed to start mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service not found.

What’s the actual problem here?

Sorry I can’t be more precise right now, but as far as I know, mariadb and mysql are two different products.

You’re right, i did separate installations for both. Suppose, everything is fine with mySQL -and also Apache- but i can’t figure out what’s the problem with mariadb.

MariaDB conflicts with MySQL, so you can’t install both.
You should either use MySQL, or disable its repository and replace it with MariaDB.

Or start MySQL service instead of mariadb one :slight_smile:
