Requirements SSH access with root privileges to your server, as well as an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS is required for you to be able to complete all the steps in this tutorial. 1. Update your system […]

The Debian project has today announced their 9th release, code named “Stretch”. This is a big milestone for MariaDB, because the release team decided to ship and support only one MySQL variant in this release, and MariaDB was chosen over MySQL. This is prominently mentioned in the press release about Debian 9 and more information […]

The post Debian 9 released with MariaDB as the only MySQL variant appeared first on MariaDB.org.

If you want to keep up with the newest MySQL developer milestones I have news for you: there is no upgrade available for milestone versions. The way to go is to remove old version and install new one, according to their website:

Upgrades between milestone releases (or from a milestone release to a GA release) are not supported. For example, upgrading from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1 is not supported, as neither are GA status releases.

So if you, like me, had the 8.0.0 version and want to test the 8.0.1 (alhtough 8.0.3 milestone is already in development) …

This tutorial shows how to install an Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) server (with Apache2, BIND, Dovecot) for the installation of ISPConfig 3.1, and how to install ISPConfig. ISPConfig 3 is a web hosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache or nginx web server, Postfix mail server, Courier or Dovecot IMAP/POP3 server, MySQL, BIND or MyDNS nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more. This setup covers the installation of Apache (instead of nginx), BIND (instead of MyDNS), and Dovecot (instead of Courier).

phpMyAdmin is one of the most popular and widely used web-based database management tools. It a free and open source PHP application that allows the users to manage single or multiple SQL database servers locally or on a remote server using a web browser (GUI). phpMyAdmin is very handy and useful. We can easily create, rename, delete and edit databases, tables or fields, execute SQL commands, import and export tables, create and modify users, etc., all via an easy-to-use GUI. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing phpMyAdmin on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS running with […]

In this tutorial, I will guide you how to build your own learning center with moodle. We will install and configure Moodle on a Nginx web server, MySQL database, and PHP-FPM7. For the operating system, we will use Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus). Moodle is an open source learning management system software to help educators and teachers to create online courses.

In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step to use docker-compose. We will deploy 'Wordpress' with Nginx, MySQL, and PHP-FPM. Each service has its own container, and we will use images from the docker hub registry. I will show you how to create containers from docker images and manage all containers with docker-compose.

In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step to use docker-compose to create a LEMP Stack environment (LEMP = Linux - Nginx - MySQL - PHP). We will run all components in different docker containers, we set up a Nginx container, PHP container, PHPMyAdmin container, and a MySQL/MariaDB container.

Oprofile was widely used for MySQL profiling on Linux in the past. But since 2010 and 2.6.31 Linux kernels another profiler, perf, gets increasing popularity. It uses performance counters (CPU hardware registers that count hardware events such as instructions executed) subsystem in Linux. perf is capable of lightweight profiling. It is included in the Linux kernel, under tools/perf (so features available depends on kernel version), and is frequently updated and enhanced.

So, probably perf is the future of profiling on Linux and it makes sense to discuss its basic usage for profiling MySQL servers. For detailed discussions of features provided, numerous examples (not related to MySQL) and links I suggest to read …
