MariaDB 11.4:

  1. zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 zabbix
    -bash: mysql: command not found

Working command:

  1. zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mariadb --default-character-set=utf8mb4 zabbix

The install guide is thus wrong: https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=7.0&os_distribution=rocky_linux&os_version=8&components=server_frontend_agent&db=mysql&ws=apache

brian.baekel, thank you for reporting. I created ZBX-26201 for it.

brian.baekel, but what is wrong with the install guide? It seems that the page you are pointing to is for MySQL. Maybe it makes sense to mention MariaDB along with MySQL, but I do not see anything wrong with the page.

mprihodko there is only a MySQL guide, and in the past there was no problem: install MariaDB and use mysql commands. But currently, (MariaDB 11.4) you install MariaDB, and the mysql commands do not work anymore.
Now we can debate if you should install MariaDB if the guide is stating MySQL, but in the docs ( https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.2/en/manual/appendix/install/db_scripts ) MariaDB is explicitly mentioned (also with mysql commands which do not work anymore)
