[Puppet Users] Preparing to install Puppet Dashboard on RHEL 5 with newer MySQL
When I discovered that I could use the PuppetLabs RPM''s to install Puppet Dashboard on my RHEL 5 Puppet Master, I decided to take the plunge. The "newest" Red Hat supplied rpm is mysql-server-5.0.95-5.el5_9 We have been using a customized 5.5.x, built from source. I wanted to see if I could use RPM''s to do this. I got the latest 5.5.x RPM''s from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html Long story short: installed the MySQL-server and MySQL-shared-compat RPM''s and then "yum install puppet-dashboard" did not complain. Thought I''d share this little How-To with the community. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

One more thing: Silly me :P MySQL-client also to be able to work with the database locally “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan White" <ygor@comcast.net> To: "Puppet Users Mailing List" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 4:20:48 PM Subject: [Puppet Users] Preparing to install Puppet Dashboard on RHEL 5 with newer MySQL When I discovered that I could use the PuppetLabs RPM''s to install Puppet Dashboard on my RHEL 5 Puppet Master, I decided to take the plunge.

Hi Dan, I''ve a script here that grabs the mysql 5.5 / 5.6 packages and turns them into a yumrepo for easier consumption: https://github.com/wolfspyre/MySQL_Createrepo it''s not perfect, but imho better than grabbing the RPMs manually form Oracle.

Re: [Puppet Users] Preparing to install Puppet Dashboard on RHEL 5 with newer MySQL
Thanks. We already use a locally maintained repo for third party packages. I will adapt the script to pull the appropriate files and place them in that repo. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolf Noble" <wolf@wolfspyre.com> To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 11:07:11 AM Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Preparing to install Puppet Dashboard on RHEL 5 with newer MySQL Hi Dan, I''ve a script here that grabs the mysql 5.5 / 5.6 packages and turns them into a yumrepo for easier consumption: https://github.com/wolfspyre/MySQL_Createrepo it''s not perfect, but imho better than grabbing the RPMs manually form Oracle.
