Page is under construction

Steps to setup the ACP database for use with Mariadb

Install MariaDB server

• download Mariadb 10.6.2 (Current tested version).
• Launch the installer - accept defaults including Heidisql
• Set a new root password when prompted
• Check allow remote access for root for now.
• Install as service - service name Mariadb
• Enable networking - port 3306
• Finish installing with defaults

Setup HeidiSQL

Optional - Allows you to use a GUI, but all can be done with the command prompt. *Launch HeidiSQL (You need to start a session too create a database)

• Click new session at bottom left - then you can leave all as default for now
  • Network type Mariadb or Mysql (default)
  • Library Libmaria.dll (default)
  • Hostname / IP 127.0.0.1 (default)
  • leave unchecked prompt for credentials and Windows authentication (default)
  • User: root
  • Password - enter the password for root
  • port 3306
  • leave the rest default and click [Open]

Expected: New session starts - there are no user databases yet

Create database

• In HeidiSQL right click on the session name (Unnamed unless you named it) > Select Create New > > Database > suan_subscriptions > Press [OK]

Install the MariaDB ODBC connector

• Download the MariaDB ODBC 3.1 connector (still using 3.1 for now since know it works).
• Launch the msi file and install with typical option

Continue with the setup

If you are setting up a production server, return to Ana:Suan/Steps_to_set_up_a_production_server#SSL certificate and continue the setup. For a development server you may be able to continue.

Configure the ACP Assets

• Add the Suan assets models with Mariadb compatible MYSQL calls to the UI folder.
