Obtain MariaDB credentials
Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.
NOTE: We are in the process of modifying the configuration for many Bitnami stacks. On account of these changes, the file paths and commands stated in this guide may change depending on whether your Bitnami stack uses MySQL or MariaDB.
Linux and macOS native installer users can identify which database server is used in the stack by running the command below:
$ test -d installdir/mariadb && echo "MariaDB" || echo "MySQL"Windows native installer users can identify which database server is used in the stack by checking for the presence of the installdir/mariadb directory. If present, the installer uses MariaDB and if not, it uses MySQL.
Depending on which database server (MySQL or MariaDB) is used by the installation, use the appropriate guides in our documentation for database-related operations.
- Database username: root.
- Database password: The same as the application password. Find out how to obtain application credentials.
