I got the tables built and mariadb.service started but running mysql_secure_installation and hitting enter where it asks for the password I get error 1045 and there is no root password set for mysql on this installation yet.

I've got problems with MariaDB not working.


I think you might want to read the "Installation" section on the Wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL#Installation

In particular, I think you forgot to run mysql_install_db.

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

Thank You - the problem is, that some installation details are missing in the German wiki, or just at the wrong place: I've found what I've been missing in the installation as a hint for possible problem solution, not as a necessary install step ...

Kind regards
Peter
