<![CDATA[Install problem on Ubuntu 16.04 - Fails at installation of MySQL driver]]>I get the following error when trying to install the mysql driver:

root@myserver:/home/myuser# apt-get install netxms-dbdrv-mysql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 netxms-dbdrv-mysql : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tried installing libmysqlclient -dev (no change in the error message)
I've tried installing libmysqlclient20 (already installed)

Can anyone help please?

Thanks,

Steve

Try to do following changes:

  1. in stop section add "--retry 60" to start-stop-daemon:
 stop)
        log_daemon_msg "Stopping NetXMS server" "netxmsd"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --retry 60
        log_end_msg $?
  1. Add following section into /etc/init.d/netxmsd (just after #!/bin/sh):
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          netxmsd
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs network nxagentd mysql
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs mysql
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: NetXMS server initscript
# Description:       NetXMS server startup script
### END INIT INFO

After change is made - run "update-rc.d netxmsd defaults"

Hi,

it seems that on shutdown your database stopped faster than NetXMS server. If it is possible to make netxmsd service depends on mysqld service that should solve this issue.

Best regards,
Victor

How best to do this?
