Linux – Apache Part 4: MySQL and MariaDB Database

MariaDB and MySQL are both compatible with each other, the decision is on system administrator which one will be used.

MariaDB instalation:

apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client 
apt-get install php5-mysqlnd php5-apcu
service apache2 restart

MySQL Instalation:

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
apt-get install php5-mysql php5-apcu
service apache2 restart
