Cant restore .jpa onto mariadb

[N6REJ]

Seems there might be an issue with restoring a .jpa to mariadb. I've not tried installing joomla onto maria but according to nic it works fine. https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-joomla/abidatabase.html These are the instructions nic gave.

to test: create a folder under www called bearsampp create an apache alias "bearsampp.local" pointing to the bearsampp folder using hosteditor create a host for bearsampp.local to 127.0.0.1 create an ssl cert for Bearsampp.local from tools menu. place the kickstart.php into the bearsampp folder place the .jpa into that folder. launch http://bearsampp.local/kickstart.php follow the steps using "root" and no pw for the database user

if it works database should be restored and site function. if not, try using ip 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost" for database url.

use the latest .jpa from akeeba backup component on bearsampp kickstart-core-7.1.2.zip

@alain01 have you tried using xoop with maria?

[alain01]

My latest test was with 2022.08.14 version... I will check which databse I used

[N6REJ]

works if "localhost" is replaced with "localhost:3307" in database connection(s) area

[alain01]

Yes, and port 3306 for MySQL

[N6REJ]

@alain01 don't need :3306 for mysql, it does so automatically

[alain01]

Yes, but if I write "localhost:3306" for MySQL, I will not forget to write localhost:3307 for mariadb... ... and localhost:27017 for mongodb ;-)

remember mongo is gone now 📦 we do have postgres though. but your point is valid.

[alain01]

I know for mongo in Bearsampp, it was just one more example (for other wamp) I never used postgres.

This one is a "wont fix" as it is a non-issue.
