Toolpack Prerequisite

WARNING: This prerequisite was not validate yet

Toolpack Basic packages

 apt-get install sysvconfig
 apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Toolpack System Database

1. Install mysql.

 apt-get install mysql-server
 apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

2. Configure mysql

 mysql_install_db
 service mysql start
 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'mysql'
 mysql -u root -p
 
 exit

3. Log onto mysql, create a tbdb user. The [DatabaseUsername] and [DatabasePassword] will need to be supplied to the toolpack installer.

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

ex.

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

To verify if the user is created:

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

4. Retrieve the socket path (this command will give the path to the socket file).

 mysql_config --socket

5. Create a symbolic link to the path retrieve using the last command.

 ln -s <PATH TAKEN FROM THE LAST CMD> /tmp/mysql.sock

For example:

 ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

Set the permission. Select option 7 (Create full privileges) for all database (*) on all hosts (%) for the targeted user.

 mysql_setpermission

Install ODBC

 apt-get install unixodbc
 apt-get install libmyodbc

Configure ODBC to use the MySQL connector

 sudo odbcinst -i -f /usr/share/libmyodbc/odbcinst.ini -d

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

 vi /etc/mysql/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:

 # The following can be used as easy to replay backup logs or for replication.
 server-id              = 1
 log_bin                = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log

Restart MySQL service
