[Solved] Connecting Webmin to mariadb

Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right subforum for my question ...

I am trying to setup a Webmin interface to experiment with my newly setup LAMP on a Raspberry Pi (running all the latest from the repositories in Arch-ARM). I have Arch running and just installed Apache, Mariadb and Php, i secured the mysql-installation from the command line, apache and php are running as well. Now I'm trying to setup webmin for easier administration.

I'm stuck where Webmin expects me to point it to multiple MySQL commands to control it. I stumbled through various guides that told me to exchange the default

/etc/rc.d/mysql start

for

/etc/init.d/mysql start

and point webmin to

/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf

for a config file, however I keep getting error messages like

The MySQL startup script /etc/init.d/mysql was not found on your system. Maybe MySQL is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect.

Since I'm a beginner concerning all but the L-part in LAMP, I do not know where to start looking for the right commands. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
jds

Arch uses systemd. Try "systemctl start mysqld".

I kind of feared it would be that simple. Thank you sir.
