LISTSERV 16.5 - QSERV-L Archives

Hi Fabrice,

Thanks. Didn't see that one. Good to know I wasn't going insane. I'm trying to qserv-dev version now.

Still curious, though, as to where MYSQL_DIR is being set.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

This bug was found and fixed recently.

Could you please set RELEASE=qserv-dev and then run:

# loadLSST.bash must have been sourced before running this (see above)
eups distrib install --tag $RELEASE qserv_distrib
setup qserv_distrib -t $RELEASE

This will upgrade and setup cutting-edge Qserv version.

qserv-configure should then work fine.

Please let me know if it works.

Cheers

Hi Fabrice,

I was trying again to clean up my server and install the latest qserv, but qserv-configure.py refused to work, reporting a failure in mysql_install_db.

When I look at the mysql.sh script in the run directory, it appears to me MYSQL_DIR (or, more specifically, --basedir) is pointing to the build directory of mariadbclient rather than mariadb. The failure seems to come from the fact that mysqld can't be found in mariadbclient (which makes sense).

I can run a stand-alone mysql_install_db command with a corrected --basedir option, pointing to the mariadb directory, but of course when trying to run this as part of the suite of setup scripts, mysql.sh will be created afresh from the template. I can trace the template back to admin/templates/installation/qserv-meta.conf, but at that point I lost the trail and can't figure out where MYSQL_DIR (or the corresponding config element) is set. Possibly because it's done by scons or eups (can't figure out which right now) in the build or install step.

So I guess I have two questions:

where is MYSQL_DIR set in the build process?

should it really be pointing to mariadbclient rather than mariadb?

Cheers,

Jeff
