Installing v8 with MySQL on AlmaLinux

Hello,

Does anyone have tips or instructions on how to install MySQL with Interworx 8? (Though I’m not sure it matters if it’s v8 or v7.)

I’ve tried a variety of ways, but it still tries to install MariaDB. It fails at this (wrong capitalization), but that’s a relatively easy fix. But the install code doesn’t seem to follow the -m system install flag.

I’m on AlmaLinux 9.5. MySQL seems to install fine otherwise.

Thanks for any help!

Hello–

All you should need to do is use the -m system flag with the install script.

I’m guessing this is the same person who submitted a ticket on this topic? We do not have support hours except for emergency tickets on the weekends, so I did not see your ticket until this morning.

I need to attempt to reproduce the issue on a test server–it is not very common for people to have mysql/mariadb already installed when they install InterWorx, so I don’t know offhand if that specific install flag has been tested with IW8, yet (as it is still public beta status). So I will respond in the ticket that you opened with my findings later this morning.

As it is, to answer your question, the -m system flag works on IW7, so it would be expected for the same to work with IW8.

Thanks,

Hi again–

I read your ticket before I had any coffee this morning and misread it, since so many folks use mysql and mariadb interchangeably, it didn’t occur to me at first that you were talking about using MySQL 8.

I responded to your ticket, but for reference if anyone else has this question, if you want to use MySQL 8 on the server, you will need to set that up after installing InterWorx. The iworx install script will always install MariaDB, so, after installation, you’d need to just remove that and replace it with MySQL 8.

Thanks,
