Topic: Installing MySQL on centos 7 didn't work

I used the following to install MySQL on centos 7

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55  install -y -q php-mysql mysql mysql-server

However instead of Mysql installed mariadb

but

systemctl start mariadb
Failed to issue method call: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

same goes for mysql

systemctl start  mysqld.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit mysqld.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Sorry, but I don't provide MySQL anymore for el7.
I want to concentrate myself on the PHP stack
And PHP doesn't requires anymore mysql client (when using php-mysqlnd)

You can look at Software Collections : https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/

But definitively, I think MariaDB is better (at least, truly OpenSource)

> systemctl start mariadb
use "systemctl start mariadb.service" or "service mariadb start"

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  mariadb.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
[root@sv1 ~]# systemctl start mariadb.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

So what now ?

Sorry, but this is no more related to my repo.

But probably you need to install mariadb-server
