the correct installation procedure for debian

[okoun]

Hello, I have Debian 9 and I want to install netxms on a net mysql server. I use this tutorial but unfortunately I do not succeed: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/installation.html

I will do the following:

apt-get install netxms-server
OK with problem:

Additional steps required:

1. Edit default configuration file (/etc/netxmsd.conf)

2. Load database schema (replace DBTYPE with proper name):

   nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_DBTYPE.sql

   Example:

      SQLite:
        nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_sqlite.sql

      PostgreSQL:
        nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_pgsql.sql

      MySQL:
        nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql

      Oracle:
        nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_oracle.sql

then start daemon with command:

   service netxmsd start

Job for netxmsd.service failed because of unavailable resources or another system error.
See "systemctl status netxmsd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript netxmsd, action "start" failed.

then edit the file netxmsd.conf And I uncomment mysql

## Uncomment and setup ONE section.

I'm still testing the command
nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql

NetXMS Database Manager Version 2.2.12 Build 9516 (2.2.12) (UNICODE)

Unable to connect to database [email protected] as netxms: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111 "Connection refused")

so I do not know what I'm doing badly, but it's strange that I did not ask when installing netxms-dbdrv-mysql what I want to set my name and password for?

Try to do this:
                    su
                    nxdbmgr check
                    reboot

Hi,

this is initialization problem with some MySQL versions. Try to edit file /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql and change

attr_name varchar(255) not null

to

attr_name varchar(63) not null

under line

CREATE TABLE userdb_custom_attributes

Best regards,
Victor
