MariaDB after upgrade to Debian 9

Hi guys, I've really been trying to find this problem first, but didn't succeed. While at Debian 8 I decided to move to MariaDB 10 instead of Mysql 5.5. All worked ok, but now I upgraded to Debian 9 and Virtualmin still thinks that there is no MySQL server.

In MySQL servers I can see my server and manage the DBs. Also, all websites are running normally, but I can't pass the Check configuration test or re-run the installation script, since it always tells me I don't have MySQL.

mhoudek :) Debian 9 comes with MariaDB by default. Easy :). Inside Virtualmin, MariaDB may look like MySQL though. Because "In Debian 9 "Stretch" the mysql-server package depends on a new package called default-mysql-server. This package in turn depends on mariadb-server-10.1". But it's MariaDB.

To determine if your Debian 9 has MariaDB installed and which version, simply run the following command in Terminal. This command will search for the installed MariaDB server package. And display the MariaDB version.

dpkg -l | grep mariadb

If somehow you removed MariaDB, one option is those steps to install Virtualmin with MariaDB at https://www.virtualmin.com/comment/801365#comment-801365
