configure_mysql

configure_mysql - MySQL configuration script

Synopsis

    configure_mysql --server <y,n>
                    --root <root password>
                    --data <data location> 
                    --vdt-install <VDT installation root>

Description

--server <y,n>

For y, prepare MySQL to be installed and started by vdt-control. For n, describe MySQL for use by vdt-control, but do not enable.

--root <root password>

Sets the inital root password for the database.

--data <data location>

Store MySQL backend data in <data location>. Defaults to $VDT_LOCATION/vdt-app-data/mysql/var.

--vdt-install <VDT installation root>

configure_mysql will look for the root of the VDT installation at $VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it with --vdt-install instead.

--help, --usage

Print a usage message.

By default the following changes are made to the stock MySQL configuration:

MySQL is configured to store backend data at $VDT_LOCATION/mysql/var or the value specified in --data.

An open port is found to run the server on.

The data store will be initialized with mysql_install_db if it has not been already.

If the mysql user exists MySQL is configured to run under it. Otherwise daemon is used.

The init script is modified to source the VDT setup.sh file
