CentOS doesn't install MySQL

[Lasky]

Is CentOS not compatible yet? it lists it as an installable option but no matter what I do CentOS will not install the MySQL server and start it successfully like in Ubuntu

Depends on the version of CentOS. If you’re using 7, you should be installing mariadb mariadb-server instead. If you’re using something older than 7, you should be manually installing mysql mysql-server first.

And it also depends on what version of FOG you’re using…

I had the same issue. I just used Centos 6.4. I believe after that the switch to MariaDB happend.
