 +===== Server listening to localhost =====
 +I found this article very useful, thank you. One thing I missed was that it didn't tell me that by default MariaDB only listens on a Unix socket. For my application, I needed it to listen to TCP connections on localhost. After searching the web, I realized that this is in fact documented in ''/etc/rc.d/rc.mariadb''. You only need to comment out the line: <code>
 +SKIP="--skip-networking"
 +</code> Maybe it would help the reader if this fact was mentioned on the page. -- //Beni aka navigium 2016/06/19//

 +Aaditya, the dot in "''chown -R mysql.mysql''" actually is **not** a typo. It is normal syntax, and the colon instead of the dot is just an equal alternative.\\  --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2018/01/02 18:14 (UTC)//
 +--------
 +Indeed it is not a typo, however, it's worth noting that a dot is perfectly valid character in a valid username, so the colon is a better choice to use for chown user:group operations.  --- //[[wiki:user:rworkman|Robby Workman]]//
