[Forum] vbulletin 4.2.3 work with MariaDB

[Nirjonadda]

Please any one let me know, Does vbulletin 4.2.3 work with MariaDB?

[Mark.B]

It's not officially supported in vB4 but it should work.

Official support is coming to vB5 though as I understand things.

[ZeroHour]

Used it for years with vBulletin and it works fine.

Yes it does.

[Nirjonadda]

Yes it does.

I am currently using CENTOS 6.6 x86_64 kvm with MySQL 5.5, Does I need any change via vB files after upgrade MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10?

No, as long as you are on PHP 5.4 + for vb 4.2.3.

Nope, its a direct replacement for MySQL.

Could that any one telle me if vBulletin 3.8.9 works with MariaDB because I had language issues? But that's another question.

[Paul M]

For normal operation, yes it will.

If you have MariaDB 10+ then there are a couple of bits in the ACP diagnostics and display that get disabled.

Errr... you fixed that in 4.2.3

[Paul M]

I know, he asked about 3.8.9 ....

We run MariaDB with no issues at all (except it is faster than MySQL )
We have changed to a combination of InnoDB/XtraDB and Aria tables (Aria to replace MyISAM and you get XtraDB by default for InnoDB tables)

Hi, Kim or someone else that know this thing, I have made these changes but the threads are still unreachable.
My provider say that: changing the Storage Engine will not fix an mySQL Syntax Error. This Error must be solved within your software.
So what to do to fix the syntax?
Please some quickly answer because I'm desperate, I have my forum closed from just 10 days, loosing all the users I had...

If you want help you will need to post the actually errors.

I've been away. MariaDB is a plugin replacement for MySQL and supports all standard MySQL functionality needed for vB.
When you convert from MySQL to MariaDB nothing changes, i.e. MyISAM and InnoDB tables stay the same.
Everything should work as is.

Once converted, I then changed table types, again it all worked as is.
As long as you have the latest 10.0.x or 10.1.x it works, FYI 10.1.8 had issues (current is 10.1.14)

We need full details of any error message to diagnose.

[incisor]

dammed if i can get everything to work...

try to post something and you get a database error but go back and the post has been made?

any clue what that might be?

debian 8, mariadb, php 5.6 and the lastest 4.2.3
