This can happen if you installed it from the source instead of using the package that comes with your Linux distribution. If the module complains that it cannot find the mysql program even though you have it installed, you will need to adjust the paths that it uses. On other Unix variants, it assumes that you have compiled and installed MySQL from the source code distribution, available from. On FreeBSD and NetBSD, the module expects the MySQL package for those operating systems to be installed.

Each Linux distribution seems to use a different set of packages, so make sure you install them all. Often there are several, named something like mysql, mysql-client, mysql-server and mysql-devel. Check your distribution CD or website for all MySQL-related packages, and install them using the Software Packages module. If the database server is not installed at all on your system, the main page will display an error message like *The MySQL client program /usr/bin/mysql was not found on your system*. Only if you have changed it manually or through Webmin will the MySQL Login page appear. Even though it is possible to enter the username and password for any MySQL user, non-root users cannot perform tasks such as creating databases and tables - and so neither will the module be able to.īy default, the module is configured to login with the username and password that the MySQL package for your distribution uses by default. You should enter the administration username into the Login' field (usually root), and the corresponding password into the Password field. If the database server is running but Webmin does not know the correct password to login to it with, the main page will display a *MySQL Login* form instead. The MySQL Database Server module main page, right after installation of mariadb-server, and running the recommended /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation to remove security breaches
