Hi All!
I installed FreePBX 16 + Asterisk 19 + MariaDB 10.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 server
From wiki Installing FreePBX 16 on Debian 10.9 - FreePBX OpenSource Project - Documentation
it’s recommended to install MariaDB as RDBMS.
So, my question is:
- What is reason of choosing MariaDB to be used with FreePBX 16 installation?
- Can I install MySQL and will it work properly? If it willn’t - why?
First I installed MySQL 5.7.33 but ran into problem with restoring from backup as well as installing modules. The issue was lower_case_table_names=1 in mysqld.cnf (I figured it out later).
So I decided to install fresh MariaDB.
But in our company usually MySQL 5.7.33 used for RDBMS purposes.
So I need clear explanation why it is (strong?) recommended to use MariaDB RDBMS.
Thx for answer!
