This page shows the Toolpack 2-5 prerequisites for CentOS 5.


Contents

Toolpack Prerequisites

Toolpack Basic packages

The software listed below is required by the host machines.

 yum install gcc zlib-devel gdbm

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

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

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

2. Setup initial database root password

 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password new-password-1
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -pnew-password-1 -h HostName password new-password-2

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 [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.

 mysql -u root -pnew-password-1
CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

ex.

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

5a. 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/

5b. 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/


6. 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]                                                   <----- This line must NOT start with a '#'
Description     = ODBC for MySQL
Driver          = /lib/tb/toolpack/3rdparty/odbc-connector/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.27.so
Setup           = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage       = 1


7. 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]

#Added to remove mysql dependency on DNS/nameserver
 skip_name_resolve


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

#Added to remove mysql dependency on DNS/nameserver
 skip_name_resolve

# 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

/sbin/service mysqld restart
