Zenoss ZenTech Community

I'm trying to upgrade from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4 and I'm pretty sure I followed the necessary steps on the documentation correctly but get this error:

# rpm -Uvh zenoss_core-4.2.5-2108.el5.x86_64.rpm
warning: zenoss_core-4.2.5-2108.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID aa5a1ad7
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit) is needed by zenoss-4.2.5-2108.el5.x86_64

I'm not the best with linux. Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.

You must install some package with libmysqlclient library at first.
Probably "yum install mysql-libs" resolve your issue or choose one for your OS http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.phpquery=libmysqlclient.so.18&....

I found the documentation on the Zenoss Wiki. http://wiki.zenoss.org/Install_Zenoss the Zenoss Core 4 installation guide. I followed the upgrade instructions beginning on page 16.

Thanks again for any help

You have had/have a problem with step:
4. Download the following Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux (x86, 64-bit) RPM Packages of MySQL Community
Server, version 5.5.31, from mysql.com:
MySQL Server
Client Utilities
Shared components

IMHO: the best option for MySQL is http://wiki.zenoss.org/download/core/mysql/ ; download
MySQL-client-5.5.37-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-server-5.5.37-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-5.5.37-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm

and proceed with next step 6.

Don't forget to backup :-)

Please _DO NOT_ use the MySQL from CentOS, use the official MySQL RPM's that Jan provides above. you may also need to install Redis. I would strongly suggest upgrading to 4.2.5.
