Toolpack System Database
The Toolpack system database is used by the main host and requires mySQL database server version 5.1 or later. It can be downloaded from the following location:
1) Go to http://www.mysql.com/ and download MySQL Community Server 5.1 installer
2) Install MySQL 5.1
- Choose complete installation
- Run MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard. (You should be prompted to do so after selecting complete installation.)
- Choose standard configuration
- Install as a Windows service and check, Launch Automatically.
- Choose Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH.
- Enter a User Name and Password, and note them down on paper as you will need them later in the installation process.
- Enable access from remote machines if you plan to run Tmedia Toolpack on more than one host machine.
3) Create new database user (tbdb) with all privilege access
- Log in mysql and create a new user with priviledge
mysql -u root CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]'; GRANT ALL privileges ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]'; exit
Example
mysql -u root CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw'; GRANT ALL privileges ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw'; exit
4) Install Mysql ODBC driver
- Get and install Mysql ODBC connector from http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/windows/mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-win32.zip
- Install Mysql ODBC connector
5) Enable mysql database replication
- Open configuration file at location similar to c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini
- Add 2 new variable in the mysql config file, and make sure it is in the [mysqld] section:
log-bin server-id=[UniqueId] <--- [UniqueId] must be a non-zero value, and must be unique when used one each host of an HA system
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
Example:
[mysqld] port=3306 basedir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/" datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/" default-character-set=latin1 default-storage-engine=INNODB # Enable mysql database replication log-bin server-id=132 max_allowed_packet = 200MB # sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION" max_connections=100 # section [mysqld_safe] table_cache=256 tmp_table_size=18M thread_cache_size=8 [mysqldump] max_allowed_packet = 200MB
6) Disable virus scanning
It is mandatory to disable the anti-virus software’s on access scan on the MYSQL database directory (generally C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data) and the Windows temporary directory(typically identified by the TEMP environmental variable), as this will prevent database backup operation to complete properly upon Toolpack System Update.
7) Restart the mysql service
net stop MySQL51 net start MySQL51
- Warning: You may have a different service name in your system (ex. MySQL51, MySQL50, etc.). To open the service control panel, run:
services.msc
