Setting up MySQL

How to setup MySQL with Razuna

In this guide, we assume that you got a working MySQL Server up and running or just installed one. If not, then please consult your administrator or download and install the MySQL Server.

Important: Make sure you create a database called “razuna” with a correct user and password that allows access to the database. Furthermore, tables need to be configured to use the high-performance InnoDB storage system!

Create the Razuna database with the following command:

create database razuna character set utf8;

For MySQL versions 5.6 and above the following global parameters also need to be set:

SET GLOBAL innodb_large_prefix = 1;
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format = barracuda;
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table = true;
SET GLOBAL innodb_large_prefix = ON;

:information_source: MySQL Versions
Razuna has been tested with MySQL 4.x and 5.x. WE HAVE NOT tested Razuna with version 8.x or above.

Razuna will setup all the required tables for a successful Razuna deployment within the “Razuna” database. Furthermore, tables need to be configured to use the high-performance InnoDB storage system. Please consult the page Recommended MySQL settings for the recommended MySQL setup for Razuna.

We still recommend that you take a look at our Recommended MySQL settings.
