==Step 1.1. Install MariaDB==

Choose custom setup to avoid installing unnecessary components which just will take up disk space:

===Step 1.2. Configure MySQL===

It surely could work with less connections but let's be on the safe side...

Check <tt>Enable TCP/IP Networking</tt> and click on <tt>Next</tt>

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure07.png

'''Warning:''' This option is important: always enable TCP/IP networking. Default port 3306 is fine.

Choose <tt>Standard Character Set</tt> and click on <tt>Next</tt>

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure08.png

Check <tt>Install As Windows Service</tt> and <tt>Launch the MySQL Server automatically</tt> and click on <tt>Next</tt>

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure09.png

Note: You can leave <tt>Launch the MySQL Server automatically</tt> unchecked:

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure10.png

and start the service manually every time you restart your computer, so that you don't have it running when you do not need it. This is explained later in [[VisualGuideToInstallingStendhalStep6|Step 6]]. Anyway, after installation and until you reboot your computer the service will be already running in the background even when you choose to start it manually.

Check <tt>Modify Security Settings</tt> and enter the root password in both of the text boxes and click on <tt>Next</tt>

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure11.png

Note: I recommend you simply choosing <tt>root</tt> as root password since only you are going to access the database locally after all... And that way you will not forget the password when you need it at [[VisualGuideToInstallingStendhalStep2|Step 2. Create a MySQL database]]

'''Warning:''' Close your firewall (it will be only for a second) before pressing the <tt>execute</tt> button

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure12.png

Otherwise, you can end with a message like this:

http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/visual_guide_server/Step1MySQLInstallConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure/Step12MySQLConfigure13.png

Now do not panic, close your firewall and click on retry.

If you happened to click on skip:
