Installing MariaDB
-
Hey guys,
I've been building a Zabbix monitoring server this week, and was just about to install MariaDB for it's backend database (not for the front end). Was wondering if it would be better to install it as a db user or as an admin on the box?

It's on CentOS 7, the user management is built in for MariaDB. Just do the yum install and the correct user will be created by the installer.

I'm cheating a bit knowing that you are on CentOS 7

This should be all that is needed for the install...
yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb -
Yup, installed like a charm. Of course I had to add "sudo"
-
What is the default db admin?

As this is a dedicated database server and not on the same box as Zabbix, you will need to open the firewall as well.
Be sure to run this script, too.
