Dick, To flesh out prior commentary. MariaDB on Slackware is a plug in replacement for MySQL. Most scripts and HOW-TOs will need minor adjustments if any. Or you can go whole hog a la Rich with PostgreSQL. To run a Slackware LAMP server, everything you need is already available in a full installation. You can refer to any Linux HOW-To to set up Apache and a LAMP stack. Slackware does not do anything special - all packages ship with upstream configuration defaults. Just ignore any article that uses *systemd*. Anyone who has a page or email on the Slackware.com domain is a contributor to Slackware development. These volunteers are trusted by our Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL). Goblin's information is still relevant, as is https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:network_services:setup_apache_php_mysql just replace "MySQL" with "MariaDB". -Ed
