Toolpack Prerequisite

WARNING: This prerequisite was not validate yet

Toolpack Basic packages

apt-get install sysvconfig
apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Toolpack System Database

  1. Install mysql.

    apt-get install mysql-server apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

  2. Configure mysql

    mysql_install_db service mysql start /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'mysql' mysql -u root -p

    exit

  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

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.

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

4.Install ODBC

Configure ODBC to use the MySQL connector

4a. For 32 bits system:

4b. For 64 bits system:

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.

Here is an example: [MySQL] <----- This line must NOT start with a '#'. Must also not start with a space. 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:

  1. 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

Example:

  1. 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

Toolpack System Web Portal

Install web server packages

Install fcgi gem

Install libxml2 ( was already installed )

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

Service: http (12358/tcp)

Port: All ports (tcp/udp) enabled for local networks
