"zypper install python-mysqldb mysql-server" Packages not found

Question

http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt/content/basics-database-controller.html

I am following this guide using OpenSuse 13.1. The guide is intended for Ubuntu but I am trying to find the OpenSuse equivalents.

zypper install python-mysqldb mysql-server

Results in:

Package 'python-mysqldb' not found.

'mysql-server' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.

No provider of 'mysql-server' found.

What are the equivalents of these in OpenSuse which will allow OpenStack to run (just testing it out)?

Answer 1

I believe OpenSuSE is using mariadb, try:

zypper in mariadb python-mysql

You might find useful information on the OpenSuSE openstack development page, and in the openstack docs respectively:
