</span>


=== Toolpack Basic packages ===
== Install the base CentOS 5 server ==


The software listed below is required by the host machines.
Download the following DVD image and install it using the "Minimal" package set:
http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/centos/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso


  yum install gcc zlib-devel
Press Enter to start the graphical installation:
* Set a hostname (make sure it is not localhost.localdomain)
* In the screen asking the set of software to install, uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" (unless you want to have the GUI)


=== Toolpack System Database ===
== Configure TelcoBridges repository  ==


The Toolpack system database is used by the main host and requires mySQL database server. The
=== Online repository procedure ===
system database packages are as follows:
This procedure requires internet access and a DNS configured on your unit


  yum install mysql-server mysql-devel
==== Add TelcoBridges repository file ====


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.
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/TB-Base.repo


1. start and enable mysql
Paste the following information in that file:


  /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
# TelcoBridges-Base.repo
  /sbin/service mysqld start
#
# This repository is using TelcoBridges frozen version of CentOS
# to help client installing the required version of the
# applications required to run Toolpack
#
[tb-base]
name=TelcoBridges-$releasever - Base
baseurl=http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/5/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5-tb
#released updates
[tb-updates]
name=TelcoBridges-$releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/5/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5-tb


2. Setup initial database root password
==== Get TelcoBridges repository key ====


  /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ''new-password-1''
cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
  /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p''new-password-1'' -h ''HostName'' password ''new-password-2''
wget http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
wget http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5-tb
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5-tb


'''IMPORTANT''': Please read the [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1-maria/en/default-privileges.html 'Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts'] article to learn how to manage users and privileges.
=== Offline repository procedure ===
This procedure '''does not''' requires internet access.


3. Install the database.
==== Install TelcoBridges repository locally ====


  mysql_install_db
Download the .iso image of the repository
http://repo.telcobridges.com/centos/5/isos/x86_64/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso


* Upload this .iso file to the "/root" directory of the server with scp or a SFTP tool like [http://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla]
* Mount the .iso file on your server


4. Log onto mysql, create a tbdb user. The ''[HostName]'', ''[DatabaseUsername]'' and ''[DatabasePassword]'' will need to be supplied to the toolpack installer.
Mount the .iso file on your server
If you cannot log in it is possible that the host name is not configure properly, use an IP Address instead.
mkdir -p /repo/centos/5
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5


  mysql -u root -p''new-password-1''
Add the mount point permanently to the system to make it stay after a reboot.
  CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
# cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
# echo "/root/tb_centos5_x86_64_repo.iso /repo/centos/5 iso9660 loop 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  exit


ex.
==== Add TelcoBridges repository file ====


  mysql -u root -pMyDbRootPassword
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/TB-Base.repo
  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:
Paste the following information in that file:  


  mysql -u root
# TelcoBridges-Base.repo
  SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
#
  exit
# This repository is using TelcoBridges frozen version of CentOS
# to help client installing the required version of the
# applications required to run Toolpack

Driver          = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
Setup           = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage       = 1


Example for 64 bits system: 

[MySQL]
Description     = ODBC for MySQL
Driver          = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup           = /usr/lib64/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage       = 1

Configure MySQL

vim /etc/my.cnf

Add these variables in the file under the [mysqld] section:

  • log-bin
  • server-id=[UniqueId]

The server-id needs to be a non-zero unique value (do not use 0). If you use the host redundancy feature, the value needs to be different on each host .


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


Add below to remove database dependencies with DNS servers (**Applicable to TMG users only) 

 skip-name-resolve


Add this to make sure the mysql logs don't get too big 

 expire_logs_days=30
 max_binlog_size=500M

Example: 

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
log-bin
server-id=5876
max_allowed_packet = 200MB
expire_logs_days=30
max_binlog_size=500M

# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

# Added so that problems with DNS servers don't cause problems with the mysql DB
# Note: This is applicable only if you are using a TMG
skip-name-resolve

[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 200MB

Enable and Start MySQL

service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on

Configure MySQL Users

  • Set password for the root user to 'tbdbpw' (TelcoBridges recommends that you set your own password for root)
  • Enable root connection from localhost only
  • Create a tbdb user (required by Toolpack)
  • Remove anonymous connection

Example: 

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password tbdbpw

mysql -uroot -ptbdbpw
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE !(Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
