Toolpack Prerequisites

Toolpack Basic packages

The software listed below is required by the host machines.

 yum install gcc zlib-devel

Toolpack System Database

The Toolpack system database is used by the main host and requires mySQL database server. The system database packages are as follows:

 yum install mysql-server mysql-devel

1. Start and enable mysql.

 /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
 /sbin/service mysqld start

2. Setup initial database root password (replace [RootPassword] by a password of your choice). [YourHostName] corresponds to the machine's hostname.

 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password [RootPassword]
 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p[RootPassword] -h [YourHostName] password [RootPassword]

IMPORTANT: Please read the 'Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts' article to learn how to manage users and privileges.

3. Install the database.

 mysql_install_db

4. Log onto mysql, create a tbdb user. The [DatabaseUsername] and [DatabasePassword] will need to be supplied to the toolpack installer. If you cannot log in it is possible that the host name is not configured properly, use an IP Address instead.

 mysql -u root -p[RootPassword]
 CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%';
 CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'localhost';
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 exit

ex.

 mysql -u root -p[RootPassword]
 CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'%';
 CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'localhost';
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 exit

To verify if the user is created:

 mysql -u root 
 SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
 exit

5.Install odbc driver and driver manager

 yum install unixODBC mysql-connector-odbc

6. Configure mysql to support database replication (Will not interfere if your system do not use it).

 vim /etc/my.cnf

Add 2 new variable in the mysql config file

Add log-bin and server-id. The value of server-id needs to be unique on each host( do not use 0 ).

Make sure it is in the [mysqld] section

 log-bin
 server-id=[UniqueId]

Example:

 [root@FEDORACORE12 tblab]# cat /etc/my.cnf
 [mysqld]
 datadir=/var/lib/mysql
 socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
 user=mysql
 log-bin
 server-id=1
 # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
 # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
 old_passwords=1
 
 [mysqld_safe]
 log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
 pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
 [root@FEDORACORE12 tblab]#

Restart the mysql service

/sbin/service mysqld restart

Toolpack System Web Portal

The Toolpack System Web Portal is required in order to host the Toolpack Web Portal. It requires the execution of all following commands:

1. Install fcgi:

 yum install fcgi fcgi-devel

2. Make sure pcre, libxml2 and openssl-devel are installed:

 yum install pcre libxml2 openssl-devel

3. Install lighttpd and lighttpd-fastcgi:

 yum install lighttpd lighttpd-fastcgi

4. Install ruby

 wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/src/fc12/ruby-1.8.7-p249-with-openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
 tar -zxf ruby-1.8.7-p249-with-openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
 cd ruby-1.8.7-p249
 ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib  --enable-shared
 make
 make install
 cd ../../..
 ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libruby.so.1.8 /lib/libruby.so.1.8

4b. For 64 bits system:

 wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/src/fc12/ruby-1.8.7-p249-with-openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
 tar -zxf ruby-1.8.7-p249-with-openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz
 cd ruby-1.8.7-p249
 ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 --enable-shared
 make
 make install
 cd ../../..
 ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
 ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libruby.so.1.8 /lib64/libruby.so.1.8

5. Install rubygems

 wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/src/centos/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
 tar -zxf rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
 cd rubygems-1.3.5
 ruby setup.rb
 cd ..

6. Install gem fcgi

 /usr/local/bin/gem install fcgi

Make sure that the firewall enables these following services and ports. Failure to open those ports will render socket communication between the distributed software elements unavailable.

 Service: http (12358/tcp)

 Port: All ports (tcp/udp) enabled for local networks

 setenforce 0

Edit /etc/selinux/config and make sure the line starting with SELINUX= is set to SELINUX=disabled.
