SVN 3480 Setting up and starting MySQL...error

[Wayne Workman]

Right. Do the MySQL commands not work with it?

Either way, I think you should try to uninstall it and then re-run your FOG installer.

Again, only delete your DB if you have it backed up.

[Wayne Workman]

Try these?

[CODE]sudo yum remove MariaDB-client MariaDB-server
sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client[/CODE]

…/lib/redhat/config.sh

rpm -qa | grep release

if [ “$RHVER” == “7” -o “$linuxReleaseName” == “Fedora” ]

“$RHVER” == “1”
Setting up and starting MySQL… error

$RHVER must be something like:
/bin/rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release --qf “%{VERSION}\n”

[Tom Elliott]

@sgennadi so…what’s this mean?

[sgennadi]

What mean if you have repo installed with release file like atomic-release-1.0-19.el7.art.noarch , environment variable $rhver receive value 1 not 7 on centos/rhel 7… So detection of mariadb server not happening and mysql server absent by default on centos/rhel 7… What cause error :
Setting up and starting MySQL…error reading information on service mysqld: No such file or directory

[sgennadi]

SVN 3493 not fix issue with rhel/centos 7 update 1

…/config.sh
RHVER=awk ‘{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i == “release”) print $(i+1)}’ /etc/redhat-release
Receive Value = 7.1.1503

RHVER=echo ${RHVER%.*}
Receive Value = 7.1
…/functions.sh

configureMySql()
{
echo -n " * Setting up and starting MySQL…";
if [ “7.1” == “7” -o “$linuxReleaseName” == “Fedora” ]; then
systemctl=“yes”;
systemctl enable mariadb.service >/dev/null 2>&1;
systemctl restart mariadb.service >/dev/null 2>&1;
else

[sgennadi]

RHVER=awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i == "release") print $(i+1)}' /etc/redhat-release | cut -d. -f 1;

Solve problem

Can someone please explain what file this “fix” applies and maybe a bit more info for noobs like me to fix it ?
Thanks !

[Wayne Workman]

@Rusty This particular thread’s solution is quite old. Tom has since made many changes to how the installer handles this. I think it’s best to wait for @Tom-Elliott 's input.

[Rusty]

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mariadb. Fog installer recognises Mariadb has been installed but:

 * Setting up and starting MySQL...Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable mysqld.service'.
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
OK
  * Backing up user reports...OK
  * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server...Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable httpd.service'.
Failed! (3)

[Tom Elliott]

@Rusty what version of fog are you running? What OS and version of it too?

[Wayne Workman]

For the record, I just did a clean installation using SVN 4330 and CentOS 7 fully updated and it went just fine.

[Rusty]

I am running CentOS 7 with the latest FOG version

[Rusty]

I am starting from scratch so I might just continue with that first…
@Wayne-Workman did you follow all steps here ? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_on_CentOS_7

[Wayne Workman]

@Rusty No. After helping here so much and learning so much about fog and linux, I don’t even follow instructions anymore. I just wing it. Like you would wing installing a new program on Windows.

lets see, I think I can fit the entire installation into one single line…

Execute this as root.

yum update -y;yum install subversion -y;setenforce 0;systemctl stop firewalld;cd ~;mkdir svn;cd svn;svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk;cd trunk/bin;./installfog.sh

of course that just stops SELinux and Firewall, it doesn’t disable them. I think that article needs re-written, it was last modified in February 2015. A lot has changed since then.

And it looks like it gives you directions to install fog 0.32. Fog stable is 1.2.0, and Fog Trunk can install on CentOS 7 without any modifications besides selinux and firewall.

If you want something more comprehensive and up-to-date, the Fedora 21 server article works on CentOS 7, there are notes on the one line that need altered or discarded for CentOS 7 and Fedora 22 server.

[Rusty]

That’s a great line @Wayne-Workman !
Installed without a hitch.

Both time I have installed FOG though, the password given at the end of the install doesn’t work.
Last time I looked up how to change it, after that I could log into the web interface.
