XAMPP - Replace MariaDB with MySQL

XAMPP - Replace MariaDB with MySQL

Since XAMPP 5.5.30 and 5.6.14, XAMPP ships MariaDB instead of MySQL. MariaDB is not 100% compatible with MySQL and can be replaced with the "orginal" MySQL server.

Backup

  • Backup the old database into a sql dump file
  • Stop the MariaDB service
  • Rename the folder: c:\xampp\mysql to c:\xampp\mariadb
