[Maria-discuss] Non-root install of MariaDB
Hi, Is it mandatory to be a privileged user for MariaDB? (hope not so). Is there an existing documentation or any suggestions for a non-root instal of MariaDB on Linux (CentOS)? Thanks, Arun

No, it's not.

I would suggest starting from the INSTALL file in the distribution, the sections "Installing MySQL from Generic Binaries on Unix/Linux" "MySQL Installation Using a Source Distribution" They describe installing from binary tarball or source as the root user, but should be easy to adapt to use non-priviledged user. - Kristian.
Thanks Kristian. An instant alternative (for the sake of future users) that was suggested to me was MySQL Sandbox that could be customized for MariaDB too. Cheers, Arun On Nov 5, 2010, at 3:43 AM, Kristian Nielsen wrote:
