This comprehensive 10-step tutorial will guide you through installing, configuring and setting up Neard, a WAMP suite.

You will learn how to set up a virtual host, install different versions of PHP, and organize folders to host XOOPS in optimal conditions.

Setting up Neard: MariaDB

MariaDB is not installed in the "neard-basic" version. This can be seen by trying to activate it.

So we will install the latest package for this version of Neard.

So just click on "Download more..." to go directly to the page of compatible MariaDB packages.

Versions of MariaDB available

After downloading the default , simply extract it to the "installation-neard-folder"/bin/mariadb.

The result is:

D:\web\neard

bin

mariadb

mariadb10.4.12

Please exit and restart Neard before activating MariaDB during any release installation.

You can now restart Neard, activate MariaDB and check the version used.
MariaDB OK

Now that mariaDB is enabled, if you don't need MySQL, you can disable it.
Of course, MySQL and MariaDB can work at the same time. In this case, we will play with the port number (MySQL, port 3306; MariaDB, port 3307)
