MariaDB is not compatible with on-access anti-virus software, so this must be disabled for the MariaDB data folder(s).

For full details for creating an exception see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26#:~:text=Go%20to%20Start%20%3E%20Settings%20%3E%20Update,%2C%20file%20types%2C%20or%20process. However, for example, if you are on Windows, and using Windows Defender, do the following:

  • Start → Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → [Virus & threat protection Manage settings] → Exclusions [Add or remove exclusions] → Add an exclusion

  • Select Process and enter the exact path and name of the executable for the service e.g. C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.4\bin\mysqld.exe

Minimum requirements

The following are the minimum requirements for a MariaDB installation to support PhixFlow.

Installation

Option

Setting

Version

See System Requirements and Compatibility.

The following configuration parameters must be set in my.cnf

datadir

Ensure that the data directory being used has sufficient space for the initial period of PhixFlow operation.

This is in the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

binlog_format

mixed

This must be added to the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

wait_timeout

28800 (this is the default, but some installation processes set this to a much lower value)

This must be in the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

The following configuration parameters can optionally be set in my.cnf

log_bin_trust_function_creators

1

This must be in the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

This setting is needed because PhixFlow's migration scripts sometimes require the use of non-deterministic functions
