Also, while I've always used MySQL, I'm aware of MariaDB and wonder
about starting out with it instead of MySQL.
Are there any gotchas I should be alert to?
Thanks.
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".
Okay.
So during the installation, when there was an option for mysqld, was
that MySQL or MariaDB?
