Ok, thanks. Isn't maria the supported db by the OS? I thought I was using maria because it got regular security updates via the standard OS repos and mysql no longer did.

I think my password failure was due to having maria installed already.

So the best approach would be to remove maria and clean up a few other things, then run the script again letting it do it's thing?

Thanks for the help Eric and Remo.

When the script asks for a password enter the password you plan to use and the script will set your entry as the admin password for the MySQL install. I used to give option for either Maria or MySQL install in CentOS 8; it became burdensome to keep two sets of packages so I settled on MySQL. All the packages are compiled with MySQL support, not Maria, on Rocky/Alma/Springdale 9.

Per the previous question about Rocky.. I'm in the process of doing a Rocky 9 install right now! So yes, I believe it's the way to go, although I'm not an expert.


My problem right now is... I ran qt_install per the instructions.


After a while, it pops up asking for a mysql password. I didn't know what to put in, tried the root password, it failed and now the script continues on. But there are errors because I wasn't able to put in the right password. So two questions.

1. What should the mysql password be?

2. When it finishes, what should I do? I guess I could run it again, it's not operational yet, so maybe running again and putting in the right mysql password would get me back on track.


Please advise..


Thanks, gb
