Installation and startup
|
|
|
|
Untar the binary distribution in the desired location,
|
|
e.g. /usr/local/mariadb-maxscale
|
|
|
|
Alternatively build from the source code using the instructions
|
|
in the [Building MaxScale from Source Code](../Getting-Started/Building-MaxScale-from-Source-Code.md) document.
|
|
|
|
You can start MaxScale using `service maxscale start` or `systemctl start maxscale` if you installed the init.d scripts
|
|
or by manually starting the process from the bin folder of the installation directory.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
|
|
You need to create or edit the maxscale.cnf file in the /etc folder.
|
|
Define the services you wish to provide, the set of server definitions
|
|
you require, with the addresses and ports of those servers and also
|
|
define the listening ports for your various services.
|
|
|
|
In order to view the internal activity of MaxScale you can either use
|
|
the maxadmin client interface with the cli routing module or telnet to
|
|
the port defined for the telnet listener. Initially you may login with
|
|
the user name of "admin" and the password "mariadb". Once connected type
|
|
help for an overview of the commands and help <command> for the more
|
|
detailed help on commands. Use the add user command to add a new user,
|
|
this will also remove the admin/mariadb user. For a detailed guide about using the MaxAdmin interface, take a look at the [MaxAdmin](../Reference/MaxAdmin.md) guide.
