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]';
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 exit

Example 

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

4) Install Mysql ODBC driver

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 variables 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

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
 #
 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

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
