I installed MariaDB-server to my machine. While setting up I met with a problem whether I have to enable it all the time as the document I follow is given with these steps,
sudo yum install mariadb mariadb-server
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
Best Answer
systemctl start
andsystemctl enable
do different things.enable
will hook the specified unit into relevant places, so that it will automatically start on boot, or when relevant hardware is plugged in, or other situations depending on what's specified in the unit file.start
starts the unit right now.disable
andstop
are the opposite of these, respectively.This means that when you first install MariaDB, you might want to run
systemctl enable mariadb.service
to enable it so it starts on boot. You might also want to runsystemctl start mariadb.service
, or just reboot, in order to start MariaDB. To stop MariaDB, runsystemctl stop mariadb.service
(it will start again on next boot or when you manually start it). To disable it so it doesn't start on boot anymore, runsystemctl disable mariadb.service
