Topic: MariaDB?

Has anyone tried using iRedMail with MariaDB? 

If I wanted to do a fresh install on a system (Debian 7.2) that was to use MariaDB, would I install MariaDB first, or iRedMail first?  Would it matter?

Re: MariaDB?

I suggest you try in this order:

- Install a fresh/clean Debian system. Just install a minimal system with OpenSSH.
- Install iRedMail with MySQL backend. It will install MySQL automatically.
- Make sure iRedMail is working. e.g. creating new mail users with iRedAdmin, send/receive email with newly created mail users.
- Export all MySQL databases, then stop MySQL service.
- Install MariaDB manually, import MySQL databases.

It should work as expected, but i didn't try it myself. Please report any issues here.
