How Will Joomla work with MariaDB?
05:58 31 Dec 2013

I am already have WAMP stack in my system and I am using Joomla based system. To test MariaDB before using, I installed MariaDB also in my system with Port number 3305. Now, when I try to install Joomla 2.5, there is only option to choose MySQL or MySQLi. Also, there is no option to choose port. Also, there is no such variable in configuration file to add port number and use MariaDB.I think, MariaDB is similar to MySQL so no additional driver required for it.

I am able to connect MariaDB through SQL client as well as from command prompt by just adding port number. So, How can I use MariaDB in Joomla application?
