got the following message while installing mahara on debian with mariadb instead of mysql:

Mahara: Site unavailable

04 November 2013, 12:08

checked it -open init.php and set

$okversion='05.0.25'; for mysql

you must set the 0 before 5 because the version-number of mariadb is 10.XX.XX

the leading number wants 2 digits and not only 1 digit.

I'd recommend just commenting or deleting this block of code in init.php:

    if ($dbversion['version'] < $okversion) {
        throw new ConfigSanityException(get_string('dbversioncheckfailed', 'error', $dbfriendlyname, $dbversion['version'], $okversion));
    }

Since we at Mahara HQ aren't actually testing it against MariaDB, it doesn't really add anything to make sure that your MariaDB version number is above a certain point.

Cheers,
