Toolpack prerequisite Debian5 2-5
This page shows the Toolpack 2-5 prerequisites for Debian 5 (although not tested, it should be the same for Debian 4).
Toolpack Prerequisite
Toolpack Basic packages
apt-get install sysvconfig zlib1g-dev makeToolpack System Database
Install mysql.
apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev
Configure mysql
mysql_install_db service mysql start <--- service should already be started
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;
exit4.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] 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:
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 log-bin server-id=''[UniqueId]''
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]
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 max_allowed_packet = 200MB
[mysqldump] max_allowed_packet = 200MB
Restart MySQL service service mysql restart
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 tbdb -p -h debian64-01 SELECT * FROM mysql.user; exit
