| 5 | = Compatibility Considerations = | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | See [[Database support strategy>>dev:Community.DatabaseSupportStrategy]] for the supported versions. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == MyISAM storage engine == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | MyISAM (the default storage engine for MySQL until release 5.5.5 in 2010) does not support transactions. If there is an error while data is being saved to the database, XWiki will attempt to roll back the transaction to its previous known good state. If you use MyISAM, it will do nothing, leaving the database in whatever state it was in when the error occurred. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | {{warning}} | ||
| 14 | If you use MySQL with any engine that does not support transactions, you will most likely corrupt your database.** We highly recommend using a storage engine such as InnoDB which supports transactions.** | ||
| 15 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | == MySQL versions older than 5.0 == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | XWiki does not fully work with MySQL versions 4.x or lower, due to several limitations of the way the SQL standards are implemented in MySQL, limited support for non-latin1 encodings, the flaky integration of Hibernate and MySQL 4, and other things. Most parts of the application work fine, but there are some parts that cannot be easily fixed, so if you must use MySQL 4.x, you're doing it on your own. MySQL 4 is pretty old and buggy, so we recommend upgrading. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | == MySQL versions older than 5.7 and utf8mb4 == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | If you use utf8mb4 encoding, you won't be able to use a version of MySQL older than 5.7 out of the box because of a limitation in the default maximum size of the keys and the default row format. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | == JDBC Driver Version == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | * It's recommended to use the latest version of the MySQL JDBC driver (8.x) if you're using MySQL 5.7+. | ||
| 28 | * If you're using XWiki < 13.3RC1, you should not use version 8.0.23 of the MySQL JDBC driver since it [[causes a problem with the Liquibase version used in XWiki>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-18515]]. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | = Installation Steps = | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Follow these instructions: | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | * Download and install [[MySQL>>http://www.mysql.com/]] 5.7 or greater. | ||
| 35 | * Start the MySQL server. You can do that in several ways. For example use {{code language="shell"}}mysqld --console{{/code}} | ||
| 36 | * Create the wiki database. You can use the name you want for the database, but you will have to set the hibernate configuration file and ##xwiki.cfg## file accordingly.((( | ||
| 37 | You can create the database in several ways. For example use: | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | {{code language="shell"}} | ||
| 40 | mysql -u root -e "create database xwiki default character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin" | ||
| 41 | {{/code}} | ||
| 42 | ))) | ||
| 43 | * Create the ##xwiki## user with password ##xwiki##((( | ||
| 44 | {{code language="shell"}} | ||
| 45 | mysql -u root -e "CREATE USER 'xwiki'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xwiki'"; | ||
| 46 | {{/code}} | ||
| 47 | ))) | ||
| 48 | * Give privileges to the ##xwiki## user for accessing and creating databases (for the multi wiki support). Specifically the ##xwiki## users needs permissions to be able to execute {{code language="sql"}}CREATE DATABASE{{/code}}, {{code language="sql"}}DROP SCHEMA{{/code}}, and then all CRUD operations on tables. Note that the command below should be tuned to be more restrictive as granting all permissions is not required:((( | ||
| 49 | {{code language="shell"}} | ||
| 50 | mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@localhost" | ||
| 51 | {{/code}} | ||
| 52 | ))) | ||
| 53 | * If the above command fails with a password-does-not-meet-requirements error, uninstall the MySQL password_validate plugin or pick a more complex password and update the password used by default in ##hibernate.cfg.xml##:((( | ||
| 54 | {{code language="shell"}} | ||
| 55 | mysql -u root -p -e "uninstall plugin validate_password;" | ||
| 56 | {{/code}} | ||
| 57 | ))) | ||
| 58 | * Please make sure that the DNS-name "localhost" is defined in your hosts-file (i.e. ##/etc/hosts##) | ||
| 59 | * You need to have the MySQL JDBC Driver JAR (named ##mysql-connector-java*.jar##) installed in XWiki's WAR file. If this file isn't present in XWiki's ##WEB-INF/lib## directory you'll need to download it and copy it there. You can download it from the [[MySQL Connector/J Driver page>>http://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/]] or directly from the [[Maven Central Repository>>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/]].((( | ||
| 60 | {{warning}} | ||
| 61 | You need the 5.x version or higher. The 3.x version doesn't handle Boolean data correctly and will either throw errors or will make all documents hidden by default. | ||
| 62 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 63 | ))) | ||
| 64 | * Now you need to tell XWiki to use MySQL. To do this, edit the ##WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml## file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and replace the matching properties with the following ones:((( | ||
| 65 | {{code language="xml"}} | ||
| 66 | <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki</property> | ||
| 67 | <property name="connection.username">xwiki</property> | ||
| 68 | <property name="connection.password">xwiki</property> | ||
| 69 | <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> | ||
| 70 | <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect</property> | ||
| 71 | <property name="connection.useUnicode">true</property> | ||
| 72 | <property name="connection.characterEncoding">UTF-8</property> | ||
| 73 | {{/code}} | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | {{info}} | ||
| 76 | * By default MySQL only accepts packets that are smaller than 1MB. If you get the "Packet for query is too large (max_allowed_packet)" error then see the [[Packet too large error page>>http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/packet-too-large.html]]. For example to increase the packet size to 32M you could start the MySQL server with {{code language='shell'}}mysqld --console --max_allowed_packet=32M{{/code}} or you can modify directly the ##my.cnf## configuration file to set this value permanently. | ||
| 77 | * If an empty XWiki starts with no errors, but you are unable to upload the default set of pages (XAR file) try to increase the ##max_allowed_packet## parameter as shown above. | ||
| 78 | {{/info}} | ||

| 104 | {{info}} | ||
| 105 | Note to XWiki developers: The following indexes could be created automatically though since they're less than 255 characters and thus should be added in a future version of XWiki so that they don't need to be created manually: | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | {{code language="mysql"}} | ||

| 116 | {{/info}} | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | = Tips = | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | == MySQL 8 == | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | * If you're using MySQL 8+ you'll need to configure MySQL with native password: ##default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password##. | ||
| 123 | * You'll also be able to switch from ##com.mysql.jdbc.Driver## to ##com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver## JDBC driver (since the previous driver class is now deprecated). | ||
| 124 | * If you get the following error then you'll need to force the timezone to use either by setting it in:((( | ||
| 125 | * The MySQL conf file on the server | ||
| 126 | * In the XWiki ##hibernate.cfg.xml## file in the ##hibernate.connection.serverTimezone## property (e.g. ##<property name="hibernate.connection.serverTimezone">Europe/Berlin</property>##). | ||
| 127 | * In the XWiki ##hibernate.cfg.xml## file inside the JDBC URL string as in ##jdbc:mysql:~/~/localhost:3306/myschema?serverTimezone=UTC## | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 130 | The server timezone value 'CDT' is unrecognized or represents more than one timezone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc timezone value if you want to utilize timezone support. | ||

| 215 | |||
| 216 | == Unable to login to MySQL Console == | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | When running {{code language="shell"}}mysql -u root -e "create database xwiki default character set utf8mb4{{/code}} you may get a {{code}}ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'xwiki'@'localhost' (using password: YES){{/code}} error. | ||
| 219 | This means that you have a password set for the MySQL root user, but you are not specifying it in the console command. You must also use the //-p// parameter. Using this you will be prompted to enter the password and be allowed to login to the MySQL console and create the database. | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | == Can't create test file == | ||
