Hello, I am planning to install ISPConfig 3.2 on a new Ubuntu 20.04 VPS. Are they compatible? Should I install Mysql or Mariadb? Thanks for your attentions.
You can follow the perfect server tutorial for Ubuntu 20.04: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ At the step to install ISPConfig, don't run Code: cd /tmp wget -O ispconfig.tar.gz https://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-nightly.tar.gz tar xfz ispconfig.tar.gz cd ispconfig3*/install/ but run Code: cd /tmp wget -O ispconfig.tar.gz https://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz tar xfz ispconfig.tar.gz cd ispconfig3*/install/ instead, so you use the latest stable version instead of a potentionally unstable nightly build.
Till and Thom, Thank you. But 99% php software scripts request mysql as installation requirement. Could Mariadb become a problem when running these 3rd party software scripts?
I had the same concerns: "but it says MySQL and I'm loading MariaDB - I know it's written by the same guy but can we substitute?" Yes. MariaDB is 100% compatible with MySQL. The "mysql" commands that we execute are executed in MariaDB. It's completely transparent to us. All of your concerns about this can now be put to rest. -- signed, Another former worrier
