=== Toolpack Basic packages ===
+
== Install the base CentOS 5 server ==
  
−
The software listed below is required by the host machines.
+
Download the following DVD image and install it using the "Minimal" package set:
 +
http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso
  
−
  yum install gcc zlib-devel
+
Press Enter to start the graphical installation:
 +
* Set a hostname (make sure it is not localhost.localdomain)
 +
* In the screen asking the set of software to install, uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" (unless you want to have the GUI)
  
−
=== Toolpack System Database ===
+
== Configure TelcoBridges repository  ==
  
−
The Toolpack system database is used by the main host and requires mySQL database server. The
+
=== Online repository procedure ===
−
system database packages are as follows:
+
This procedure requires internet access and a DNS configured on your unit
  
−
  yum install mysql-server mysql-devel
+
==== Add TelcoBridges repository file ====
  
−
Depending on the CentOS installation, the command paths for the database (i.e. mysql_install_db, mysqladmin, mysql) and system tools (chkconfig, service, etc) may not be included in the active PATH environment variable. MySql is usually installed in /usr/bin and system tools in sbin.
+
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/TB-Base.repo
  
−
1. start and enable mysql
+
Paste the following information in that file:
  
−
  /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
+
# TelcoBridges-Base.repo
−
  /sbin/service mysqld start

Download the .iso image of the repository
 +
http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/5/isos/x86_64/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso
  
−
4. Log onto mysql, create a tbdb user. The ''[HostName]'', ''[DatabaseUsername]'' and ''[DatabasePassword]'' will need to be supplied to the toolpack installer.
+
* Upload this .iso file to the "/root" directory of the server with scp or a SFTP tool like [http://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla]
−
If you cannot log in it is possible that the host name is not configure properly, use an IP Address instead.
+
* Mount the .iso file on your server
  
−
  mysql -u root -p''new-password-1''
+
Mount the .iso file on your server
−
  CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
+
mkdir -p /repo/centos/5
−
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
+
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5
−
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+
−
  exit
+
  
−
ex.
+
Add the mount point permanently to the system to make it stay after a reboot.
 +
# cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
 +
# echo "/root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5 iso9660 loop 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Applies to version(s) v2.5 to v2.9


This page shows the prerequisites to install Toolpack for a 64 bits CentOS 5.7 with the use of TelcoBridges repository.

WARNING: The host MUST have at least CentOS 5.5 installed. If you don't want to update your CentOS version to the latest version or want to install the prerequisites for a I386 (32 bits) platform, please follow the manual procedure instead.

WARNING: If you followed the manual procedure on the system before, you MUST NOT use the steps on this page before doing a cleanup of the previously installed files. You should ask Telcobridges support for help with the cleanup.

Contents

Install the base CentOS 5 server

Download the following DVD image and install it using the "Minimal" package set: 

http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso

Press Enter to start the graphical installation:

  • Set a hostname (make sure it is not localhost.localdomain)
  • In the screen asking the set of software to install, uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" (unless you want to have the GUI)

Configure TelcoBridges repository

Online repository procedure

This procedure requires internet access and a DNS configured on your unit

Add TelcoBridges repository file 

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/TB-Base.repo

Paste the following information in that file: 

# TelcoBridges-Base.repo
#
# This repository is using TelcoBridges frozen version of CentOS
# to help client installing the required version of the

Offline repository procedure

This procedure does not requires internet access.

Install TelcoBridges repository locally

Download the .iso image of the repository 

http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/5/isos/x86_64/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso
  • Upload this .iso file to the "/root" directory of the server with scp or a SFTP tool like FileZilla
  • Mount the .iso file on your server

Mount the .iso file on your server 

mkdir -p /repo/centos/5
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5

Add the mount point permanently to the system to make it stay after a reboot. 

# cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
# echo "/root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5 iso9660 loop 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Install Toolpack Prerequisites

When asked to 'Importing GPG key', answer yes. 

yum groupinstall Toolpack-Prerequisites

Install Gem 

wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/linux/bundler-1.2.3.gem
gem install --local ./bundler-1.2.3.gem

wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/linux/json-1.7.7.gem
gem install --local ./json-1.7.7.gem

Configure ODBC 

vim /etc/odbcinst.ini

Remove the '#' in front of each lines of the [MySQL] section Modify the 'Driver' line to set the correct driver

Example for 32 bits system: 

[MySQL]
Description     = ODBC for MySQL
Driver          = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
Setup           = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage       = 1


Example for 64 bits system: 

[MySQL]
Description     = ODBC for MySQL
Driver          = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup           = /usr/lib64/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage       = 1

Configure MySQL 

vim /etc/my.cnf

Add these variables in the file under the [mysqld] section:

  • log-bin
  • server-id=[UniqueId]

The server-id needs to be a non-zero unique value (do not use 0). If you use the host redundancy feature, the value needs to be different on each host .


Add max_allowed_packet to increase the maximum size of binary blobs in the database. Make sure it is in the [mysqld] section AND [mysqldump] section 

 max_allowed_packet = 200MB


Add below to remove database dependencies with DNS servers (**Applicable to TMG users only) 

 skip-name-resolve


Add this to make sure the mysql logs don't get too big 

 expire_logs_days=30
 max_binlog_size=500M

Example: 

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
log-bin
server-id=5876
max_allowed_packet = 200MB
expire_logs_days=30
max_binlog_size=500M

# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

# Added so that problems with DNS servers don't cause problems with the mysql DB
# Note: This is applicable only if you are using a TMG
skip-name-resolve

[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 200MB

Enable and Start MySQL 

service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on

Configure MySQL Users

  • Set password for the root user to 'tbdbpw' (TelcoBridges recommends that you set your own password for root)
  • Enable root connection from localhost only
  • Create a tbdb user (required by Toolpack)
  • Remove anonymous connection

Example: 

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password tbdbpw

mysql -uroot -ptbdbpw
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE !(Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
