Can't find mariadb after yum install

[liubl]

Hi,

I installed mariadb using

Code: Select all

[root@localhost /]#yum install mariadb

but I can't locate any mariadb instance using locate. It's only shows the doc position, I can't find mariadb program.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost /]# rpm -qa |grep mariadb
mariadb-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64
mariadb-libs-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64

[root@localhost /]# locate mariadb
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mariadb-x86_64.conf
/usr/share/doc/mariadb-5.5.35
/usr/share/doc/mariadb-libs-5.5.35

[root@localhost /]# rpm -qa|grep mysql
mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.5-6.el7.x86_64

I don't think this is correct, does anyone experience it?

And any start command does't work like:

service mariadb start
service mysqld start

They don't work.

The locate command uses a database that's only updated once a day, overnight. Use rpm -ql $packagename to get a list of the files in a package.

[centminmod]

just update the database after install

Code: Select all

yum -y install mariadb
updatedb
locate mariadb

[igsmigs88]

systemctl start mariadb.service and systemctl enable mariadb.service if u wont that service run when u boot

And then you can still get into it as mysql. Did you set it up with mysql_secure_installation ?
