Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/fresh-installation-of-mariadb/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- We are in the process of setting up our Developments env on Cloud Foundry and Mariadb is the DB of choice. I have Oracle background. I m trying to download and install the Mariadb software binaries as well as setup the database in our development environment. OS is RHEL 6.5 and I tried to use yum to install but got error message. I also obtain the tar.zip file and uncompressed the file on the linux server but most of the files are zero bytes.. Questions: a) What binaries do I need to download for Mariadb installation? b) What OS username and group id etc..would I be installing Mariadb as? c) Where do I get Mariadb files to download since I m having issue with yum.. I m trying to get a Maria db book but need the above basic info to get started. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/fresh-installation-of-mariadb/
