If you are not using a Synology server, you can use phpMyAdmin to find the connection information necessary to connect to your database. Note I do not have MaridDB 5 installed so I'm not sure this applies if both MariaDB versions are installed. To avoid problems with future updates, I changed to socket from localhost:/run/mysqld/mysqld10.sock to localhost:/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. However my programs were still using the original socket and working correctly. These instructions were written with DSM 5 installed.Īfter upgrading to DSM 7 the socket changed. The port number and sock path may be different on your host or server. The screen will show the port and socket to connect. If you are using a Synology DSM, login to DSM and select the main menu at the top of the screen. However in some cases additional information may be required. There are a number of ways programs connect to MariaDB but most usually require the port and socket. Once your user and database are created you need to enter the connection information in the program that uses MariaDB. When finished select the Go button at the lower right of the screen. This can only be used if you have an X509 certificate or a self-signed certificate, that is created with OpenSSL, and Click here for more information. SSL is only needed for databases where you allow allow remote clients or clients on another network to connect directly to the database. Note that enabling SSL (AKA TSL) is not needed for local connections and will prevent your program from connecting to the database correctly. You do not need to grant the user global privileges however privileges can always be changed later if you need this user to access another database. You will need it to connect to the database.Ĭheck the box Create database with same name and grant all privileges.

Make sure you copy and paste or write down the password somewhere safe. You can select Generate and phpMyAdmin will create a password as well. This is the password your program will use to access the database. Programs use a user name and a password to access the database.įor the Host Name select local from the pull down menu.Įnter a password you want to use for your database and re-type to confirm.
In this example the database name will be the same as the username. The user name is the name you enter in the program to access the database. On the user account page enter the user name, host name and password. Go must be pressed after you make changes in phpMyAdmin or the changes will not be accepted. Then select the Add User Account option shown at the red arrow below and then select Go at the bottom right of the screen. Select the User Account tab and the following screen appears. When phpMyAdmin starts you will a screen like the one below. Login to phpMyAdmin using the username root and your MariaDB password. The easiest way to create users and databases is to use phpMyAdmin. If you are lucky the above entries may work as shown but in most cases the question is where and how do I enter the information so my program connects?īefore you connect to MariaDB, the database and user must be created manually because many programs can not create the user or database in MariaDB or MySQL. The minimum requirements to connect are entering the host, the database name, the database user name and the database password as shown below. These instructions apply to the version or any other program that needs connections to MariaDB.

If you install WordPress from you will need to setup the database manually, even if you are using a Synology DSM.
If you use the Synology version of WordPress you will not need to enter any additional information because Synology automates the WordPress installation. However the connection information applies to nearly any server. Since I use a Synology server the examples show the settings from the Synology DSM. It also runs queries and can change information in the database.Ĭonnecting a program to MariaDB depends on the server settings. The phpMyAadmin program allows you to create and delete users and databases. You should also install the phpMyAdmin utility program. The port and socket should contain the values for programs to access MariaDB. To verify php is connecting to MariaDB, open your browser and enter Scroll down to MYSQLI and verify it is enabled.
