I have a development server with Mysql. I need mysql specifically as I have used the C++ connector API extensively in my code and this API does not work with MariaDB. I need to install a very secure, easily configurable mail server on this server and have chosen to install iRedMail. The thing is, on Buster, mysql gets replaced by MariaDB when you run the iRedMail install script.
Is there a way to configure iRedMail to run with a mysql backend?
I have tried the following tutorial:
https://docs.iredmail.org/install.iredmail.with.remote.mysql.server.html
It did not work. That is the only one I have found.

I have downloaded the MySQL from the following link:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Downloaded the version 8.0.0. I have OS X 10.10.5
Now, I suppose I need to configure a visual MySQL client on my laptop to write queries. For that, I have installed sequelpro (sequelpro.com).
I need help on following points:
- Since there are a number of sample databases which one can use to learn SQL, can you please guide me on few such databases. My objective is to learn advanced SQL.
- Also, how do I configure my client (sequelpro) to connect to that database so that I can run queries.
As of now, I am stuck with the following screenshot with no clue what to do next.
Thanks a lot. Screenshot here
Based on the fact you said in the comments you have OSX and you installed mysql manually without phpmyadmin I suggest you download and install mamp.
mamp
1: https://www.mamp.info/en/ is,
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on
your computer. It comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP
will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running
on your system. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting
a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if
MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything
returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the
"normal" system).
Basically it is a fake server that runs on your computer. This will be yours for localhost development. You can use it to serve your localhost php applications, change versions of php and gives you a GUI for mysql which is phpmyadmin.
Once you install mamp
you might need to configure mamp to use the mamp mysql but most likley it will work out of the box. If you do run into any problems make sure you stop the instance of mysql you installed already before running mamp then trying to ran mamp again and it should be using the correct version.
I need to use standard mysql, in plesk it says everywhere that it is mysql but when I login to console it says mariadb.
I understand that it is very similar but this plesk will be hosting staging systems so they must use exactly the technology that the product servers use.
Is it possible to do it somehow using the web interface or do I have to manually install it from console?
As I see it's impossible because plesk-mysql-server package has explicit dependency for mariadb-server.
Yes, you can solve this with --force, but it means further troubles with plesk updates and upgrades.
If you need DB server for some application you can install it on separate server and register it as remote DB server in Tool&Settings > Database Servers.
I just started using MongoDB and Node.js with a MEAN Stack (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node.js) on my local machine and at first I assumed that MongoDB was installed on the Node.js server kind of like MySQL is installed on Apache when you install the LAMP or WAMP stack.
But now I'm not so sure any more :)
How does it work? Where is MongoDB installed? Can I use it without Node.js? Can I use MySQL without a server?
Both MongoDB and MySQL are installed standalone on the host (in your case localhost).
MySQL is not installed on Apache. It's just the PHP interface to MySQL which requires Apache to serve it. You can use the MySQL command line (issue the mysql command in your shell console) without having Apache or PHP installed. The LAMP and WAMP stacks ship with the PHP MySQL interface configured.
MEAN is a similar stack, consisting of each individual component available independently as well as knit together seamlessly as per requirement. You can query a MongoDB hosted on a different machine from the machine you have the MEAN stack on too.
I'm trying to install the Mysql module on my development machine but it seems to want a local Mysql installation before it will install.
Is there a work around?
I don't need or want a local installation of Mysql, I'm querying a network machine with the installation.
DBD::mysql is a wrapper around the MySQL client libraries. You will at least need to install a client, just like you would need to a client to connect to a remove MySQL server anyway.
You don't specify what system you're on or how you are trying to install DBD::mysql.
You'll need the client libraries (and if you're installing from CPAN - the source of the client libraries) but you should not need MySQL Server. If on a linux the mysql-server package is a dependency of DBD::mysql, it would be a bug.
I have downloaded and stalled the MySQL server 5.5 version via .DMG on my Mac.
But I am confused as to what to do next. I have the preference settings bundle and it says that the MySQL server is running. But do I need to download a client separately? I'm trying to access MySQl in terminal to create an account or login but nothing is working.
You need to use the full path to mysql (/var/lib/mysql), or add the mysql directory to your $PATH var.
If you're trying to install LAMP environment on your mac, try a complete solution, such as MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html) or XAMP.
These tools are bundled with phpmyadmin, which makes mysql administration easy
