Just done a Tutorial on setting up Maria DB here are some basic instructions.
It should be fairly easy even if your not used to a SQL server.
N.B: If you have previously had MySQL installed you will need to see this article about removing it as a service.http://superuser.com/questions/452262/how-to-remove-mysql-service-from-windowsIf you haven't had MySQL installed before just follow these steps.
1) Download the
Maria DB MSI installer for your version of Windows
2) Click Install and run when Windows prompts.
3) On the licence agreement screen check the accept box. Click next.
4) On the next screen will be the components you need to install don’t change anything here just click next.
5) You should now have a screen that says “Modify password for database user root”. Enter your desired password.
Tip: Write this password down you will need it later in RadioDJ.
5a) Only check the “Enable access from remote machines” box if you need it later for stuff like website requests and now playing info. Click next.
6) On the next screen keep the default settings apart from the buffer size change that to something like 255MB. Click next.
7) You should then see a tick box “Enable feedback plugin” I didn’t bother enabling it. Just click next if you don’t want to send feedback.
You should now have a a screen that says Install. Click install.If all goes to plan the Maria DB SQL server should be installed. Once you have verified that MySQL is running as a service then you can install the RadioDJ Database.
Hope this helps someone.
