Upgrading MySQL to MariaDB

Ever since MariaDB exists, I really like to install and test the performance but time consume for my daily work stopped me to try MariaDB, today I plan to update my MySQL server that serve lot of data in and out to MariaDB 10.0 (today latest version :P )

So there's a few step that should be considered before we can proceed further.

1. BACKUP
- Always backup your data at the first place.
- Save it to the proper place so that if anything goes wrong, you can export back your data.

mysqldump -u root -pYOURPASSWORD --all-databases > allbackup.sql &

If you don't want to wait and you know that the current database is big, just put the process at the background so that you can monitor the process using top :)

- Backup your current configuration files

cp /etc/my.cnf /tmp/my.cnf.bak

2. Let's go

If you're installing mysql from webtatic and made a replacing package name , you may encountered an error like

Error: mysql55w conflicts with MariaDB-server-5.5.41-1.el6.i686
Error: mysql55w-libs conflicts with MariaDB-compat-5.5.41-1.el6.i686

You can try my work around :

yum replace mysql55w-libs --replace-with mysql-libs

Proceed with the step below :
