Setting up MariaDB

The following sections describe how to set up MariaDB to replace the default H2 database in your WSO2 product

Setting up the database and users

Follow the steps given below to set up MariaDB. See Tested DBMSs for information on the MariaDB versions that are tested with WSO2 products.

1. Download, install and start MariaDB on your computer. See https://downloads.mariadb.org/.

2. Log in to MariaDB as the root user (or any other user with database creation privileges).

   mysql -u root -p

3. Enter the password when prompted.

4. In the MySQL command prompt, create the database using the following command:

   create database regdb;

5. Give authorization to the regadmin user as follows:

   GRANT ALL ON regdb.* TO regadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "regadmin";

6. Once you have finalized the permissions, reload all the privileges by executing the following command: 

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

7. Log out from the MySQL prompt by executing the following command:

   quit;

Setting up the drivers

Download the MySQL Java connector JAR file, and copy it to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/components/lib/ directory.

What's next

By default, all WSO2 products are configured to use the embedded H2 database. To configure your product with MariaDB, see Changing to MariaDB.
