      MySQL is a database. It needs it's own credentials. Same as SQL Server or Oracle or whatever.

        I was more concerned over the fact that it appeared to be asking me to login as root to start the install of SQL, but then seemed to allow me to bypass it..
        but again, maybe I just typed the password in and don't recall, and typed it in correctly the third time.

          @scottalanmiller With SQL though you can link it to AD as most do. Oracle is a different beast...

            It might be helpful for other people like myself that find and use your guide to install Mediawiki on CentOS if you add

            Yum list 'mediawiki*' so people can find the name of the current version. *but now that I run it, it appears that yum does not have the current version 1.22.3

              @Dashrender You may be able to add another repo to pull it from. I believe the .repo files go in /etc/yum.repos.d/ if I remember right.

                It would not have the latest. That's not how CentOS works. They don't change release versions once the OS is out. This is enterprise server here, not an SMB system. This is anything but bleeding edge. Every package is frozen for ultimate stability.

                  They do but you might as well run Fedora if you are going to go down this route. Running CentOS this way would be foolish.

                    Why would running CentOS this way be foolish?

                        There is a purpose to CentOS focused on stability. If you want bleeding edge don't shoehorn that into CentOS. It isn't built for it. You'll just increase risk. You are trying to mix concepts. Fedora is bleeding edge and all the parts match. CentOS is for stability and all the parts match. Don't mix and match or you make it worse than if you had chosen either / or.
