Toolpack prerequisite CentOS4 2-3

This page shows the Toolpack 2-3 prerequisites for CentOS 4.

Toolpack Prerequisite

Toolpack Basic packages

The software listed below is required by the host machines.

 yum install gcc
 yum install 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:

a. For 32 bits sytem:

 wget -c http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1.i386.rpm
 rpm -ivh mysql-server-5.0.68-1.el4_6.i386.rpm mysql-devel-5.0.68-1.el4_6.i386.rpm mysql-5.0.68-1.el4_6.i386.rpm mysql-libs-5.0.68-1.el4_6.i386.rpm perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-3.1.centos4.i386.rpm mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1.i386.rpm

b. For 64 bits sytem:

 wget -c http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/mysql-server-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm
 wget -c http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/mysql-devel-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm

 wget -c http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-3.1.centos4.x86_64.rpm
 wget -c http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1.x86_64.rpm
 rpm -ivh mysql-server-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm mysql-devel-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm mysql-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm mysql-libs-5.0.68-1.el4_6.x86_64.rpm perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-3.1.centos4.x86_64.rpm mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4s1.1.x86_64.rpm

Then, install the encryption package.

 yum install openssl

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.

1. start and enable mysql

 chkconfig mysqld on
 service mysqld start

2. Install the database.

 mysql_install_db

3. Log onto mysql, create a tbdb user. The [HostName], [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 configure properly, use an IP Address instead of the [HostName].

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

ex.

 mysql -u root -h centos64-02 -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/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

6. Set the permission. Select option 7 (Create full privileges) for all database (*) on all hosts (%) for the user [DatabaseUsername] (i.e. tbdb).

 mysql_setpermission

7.Install odbc driver and driver manager

 yum install mysql-connector-odbc

7a. For 32 bits sytem:

 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/

7b. For 64 bits sytem:

 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/

8. 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:

 # Driver from the MyODBC package
 # Setup from the unixODBC package
 [MySQL]
 Description     = ODBC for MySQL
 Driver          = /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.27.so
 Setup           = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so
 FileUsage       = 1

9. 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@TL-CENTOS64-02 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@TL-CENTOS64-02 tblab]#

Reboot the mysql service

service mysqld restart
