Topic: Problem with mysql dependencies on iRedMail installation

Hello,

I'm trying to install iRedMail 0.8.5 on a CentOS 6.5 using MySQL backend, but I'm getting the following dependencies error messages at the end of the proccess:

Re: Problem with mysql dependencies on iRedMail installation

Hmm, package conflicts.

*) MySQL has some files conflict with MariaDB. So please remove MariaDB first if you don't need it.
*) Please remove Dovecot related package first.

Is this a newly installed server os? Why it has MariaDB and Dovecot installed?

No, it's not a new server. Someone that I don't know has configured the enviroment. I just need to install the email server stack. Strangely, I can't remove mariadb and dovecot packages via yum because it says that the package is not installed!
 
yum remove maria

Re: Problem with mysql dependencies on iRedMail installation

You can check what packages were installed with "rpm -qa", then remove the one you want. for example:

# rpm -qa | grep -i 'maria'

Re: Problem with mysql dependencies on iRedMail installation

The shell returned nothing to the grep command.

[root@mail iRedMail-0.8.5]# rpm -qa | grep -i 'maria'
[root@mail iRedMail-0.8.5]#

Re: Problem with mysql dependencies on iRedMail installation

No MariaDB related packages installed? Then it may be not removed completely, you can remove the conflict file directly like this:

/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0

The same to Dovecot conflict files (again, check installed package first, if not installed, remove conflict files directly).
