> 5. EMI install saga continues?
Just for a quick update on this from the Oxford experience,
I initially tried doing this as a clean install of SL5 and
EMI DPM, but with a mysql instance populated from a dump
of the existing/previous SE. YAIM failed with permissions
errors doing things to the mysql. I've then tried it again
on the same install, but with a completely virgin mysql
instance, and it behaved the same way. I've now installed
a clean copy of SL5, and will go through the install from
scratch as if it were a completely fresh one and see what
happens. If it fails the same way again I'm pretty close to
calling it broken and going for gLite 3.2 instead.
That said, I really don't understand how it could be as
broken as it appears and have been released, so I suspect
there's something I'm missing, but I'm simplifying the
setup and I haven't found it yet.
The bit that's failing is:
/opt/glite/yaim/functions/utils/set_mysql_passwd
which seems to try to (re)set various mysql passwords in
a manner while
- fails
- stuffs something up.
The first run generates a couple of errors, a subsequent
one fails with more errors, unless you first restart
mysql or do a 'flush privileges', which puts you back to
square one. It's very odd. The YAIM function itself seems
to be unchanged from the gLite version.
