Topic: Fresh install MariaDB

Hi, I have been searching for a while but can not seem to find an answer to my query.

I have a fresh clean install performed today on Ubuntu 20.04, I followed the setup process and all is working well, however, in the install, I could only select MariaDB installation, I have another server running an older version iredmail using MySQL which I can log in to and manage forwarders etc, my question is how do I login to MariaDB as nothing is installed, I want to add forwarding email to multiple users but I have no clue how to even login to MarinaBD.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Many thanks,
Mark.

Re: Fresh install MariaDB

If you followed the official document https://docs.iredmail.org/install.iredm … buntu.html
read the section "Important things you MUST know after installation" at the end of the document.

You should have a file named /root/iRedMail-x.y.z/iRedMail.tips   with all usernames/accounts of every service installed.

Re: Fresh install MariaDB

MariaDB is a drop-in replacement of MySQL. You just type "mysql" command as root user, then you're in (because iRedMail generates /root/.my.cnf so that you don't need to type username and password).
