MariaDB installation in a different directory using RPMs
I am trying to install MariaDB using RPMs packages in a user created directory but i am not able to do it. Is it possible to do it?? i have tried --prefix option but couldnt start the mysql service and also yum --installroot option but couldnt start the service. Please suggest a way to do it if its possible
Answer
while you can install RPM anywhere, the location for configuration files, for example, is always /etc, not @your_prefix@/etc.
If you want to install locally, it's best to use a tarball, you can download it from https://downloads.mariadb.org/
