Toolpack prerequisite Debian5 2-5

This page shows the Toolpack 2-5 prerequisites for Debian 5 (although not tested, it should be the same for Debian 4).

Toolpack Prerequisite

Toolpack Basic packages

 apt-get install sysvconfig zlib1g-dev make

Toolpack System Database

1. Install mysql.

 apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev

2. Configure mysql

 mysql_install_db
 service mysql start            <--- service should already be started

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]';
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 exit

ex.

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

4.Install ODBC

 apt-get install unixodbc libmyodbc

Configure ODBC to use the MySQL connector

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

4a. For 32 bits system:

 wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/linux/mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-32bit.tar.gz
 tar -zxf mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-32bit.tar.gz
 mkdir -p /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/
 cp mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-32bit/lib/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.27.so /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/

4b. For 64 bits system:

 wget http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/linux/mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-64bit.tar.gz
 tar -zxf mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-64bit.tar.gz
 mkdir -p /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/
 cp mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-64bit/lib/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.27.so /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/

5. Manually configure the odbc manager. Make sure mysql driver is enable(removing the comments for the mysql driver). Set the Driver as the previous command answer.

 vim /etc/odbcinst.ini

Here is an example:

 [MySQL]
 Description         = MySQL driver
 Driver              = /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.27.so
 Setup               = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
 CPTimeout           =
 CPReuse             =
 UsageCount          = 2

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

 vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf

6.Add 2 new variable in the mysql config file

Comment out the bind-address line (put a '#' in front of the line) Example:

 # bind-address          = 127.0.0.1

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

 service mysql restart

To verify if the user is created. The [HostName] will need to be supplied to the toolpack installer. If you cannot log in it is possible that the host name is not configure properly, use an IP Address instead.

 mysql -u tbdb -p -h '[HostName]'
 SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
 exit

ex.

 mysql -u tbdb -p -h debian64-01
 SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
 exit

Toolpack System Web Portal

Install web server packages

 apt-get install libfcgi libfcgi-dev lighttpd libopenssl-ruby1.8 libssl-dev

Use the UI to prevent lighttpd to start at boot time. ( Remove the '*' besides the lighttpd service )

 sysvconfig

Stop the lighttpd service

 service lighttpd stop
