trying to install errors with mysql

[leeburstroghm]

The install keeps telling me to install mysql server.

I am able to get to my MysqlServer with phpMyadmin.

This linux dedicated server is a whm cpanel environment. Why is the install script not finding mysql?

I am able to get into mysql by running
# mysql

also
/etc/init.d/mysql status
MySQL running (12637) [ OK ]

the install script tells me
OpenEMM Installer: RPM package(s) missing: mysql-server
Please install these packages with
'yum install mysql-server'

I do not understand. please help!

What Linux distribution are you using?

[leeburstroghm]

This server is centos 5.4 final with WHM/Cpanel

I ended up going into the install script, remove the mysql-server rpm check and manually created the tables from the sql

I have the same issue.

Distr.: CentOS 5.4

Obviously there is no solution for this bug?

How do I "remove the mysql-server rpm check and manually created the tables from the sql"?

Thanks

[mkom]

Is there are any chance to solve this issue?

[maschoff]

We neither know "whm cpanel environment" nor is it clear to us what you consider to be a bug. Please elaborate a bit.

[mkom]

The error appears as follows:

1. I run the OpenEMM-Installer-1.2.sh script following exactly the instructions in "OpenEMM Install and Administration Guide for OpenEMM 6.x.y.pdf".

2. The installer stops running with this error message:

"OpenEMM Installer: RPM package(s) missing: mysql-server
Please install these packages with
'yum install mysql-server' "

3. BUT mysql-server IS already installed and running on my server since many months.

That's the same error the thread starter writes about.

But I don't run cPanel on my server. My server runs with CentOS 5.4 with all updates installed.

What I consider to be a bug is that the installer tells to install mysql-server but the mysql-server is already installed and running.

Is there a workaround or a possibility to install OpenEMM without the installer?

Thanks for a hint.

I just tried the script on my machine (CentOS 5.4) and it detected the RPMs without problem. What is the exact name of your mysql-server RPM?

[mkom]

Where do I find the name of my mysql-server RPM you are asking for?

Are you talking about this name: "mysql-server-5.0.89-1.el5.art"?

[maschoff]

That is strange, because I have an up to date CentOS 5.4 but the official version is 5.0.77-4.el5_4.1 right now. Looks like you use a different approach to update your RPMs which is not compatible with what OpenEMM expects.

[mkom]

Yes, for some reasons I had to use the more up-to-date versions for MySQL and PHP then the official versions.

Does this mean, OpenEMM does not work with MySQL version 5.0.89 and up?

Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

[maschoff]

In this case you should simply comment out the RPM check in the script. However, I wonder what output you get when you enter

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep mysql-server

at the shell prompt (this is the same command used by the script). Do you get "mysql-server-5.0.89-1.el5.art" back?

[mkom]

Yes, I'm getting this back (really 2 identical lines):

Code: Select all

# rpm -qa | grep mysql-server
mysql-server-5.0.89-1.el5.art
mysql-server-5.0.89-1.el5.art

[maschoff]

Hm, this should not happen. Every RPM should only be listed once.

[mkom]

In this case you should simply comment out the RPM check in the script.

I deleted the check for mysql-server and after that the installation did run successfully now.

Thanks for help.
