Running database on linux server

[kieranp87]

Has anyone managed to run an sql on Linux and have radio dj work on it? What would the best server to use? I'm currently testing on MySQL and running into issues logging in. Just wanted to know other people's views.
I don't no want it running on windows as I'm running a multi studio environment

Many thanks
Kieran

I'm running MariaDB on a linux nas just fine.
You will need to make a database user with the permission to connect remotely, as root works just from localhost.

I've got it working also on Linux.
The only problem for me when I was setting it up, was that the database configurator could not connect to create the database.
Just imported the .sql file directly and it worked.
