I'm using chef for the first time, trying to get my head around recipes and cookbooks.
I receiving the error 'mysql::client' fails after configuring the standard php cookbook which I'm currently doing in my roles file:
run_list(
"recipe[phpwebtatics]",
"recipe[php]",
"recipe[composer]"
)
override_attributes 'php' => {
'install_method' => "source",
'version' => "5.5",
'packages' => ["php55w", "php55w-devel", "php55w-pear", "php55w-cli", "php55w-pdo", "php55w-fpm", "php55w-intl", "php55w-mbstring", "php55w-mcrypt", "php55w-pecl-memcache", "php55w-pecl-xdebug", "php55w-process", "php55w-xml"]
}
(I've written my own webtatics cookbook which basically fetches the webtatics rpm):
# Go get web tatic
remote_file "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/webtatic_repo_latest.rpm" do
source "http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm"
action :create
end
rpm_package "jmxtrans" do
source "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/webtatic_repo_latest.rpm"
action :install
end
I've tracked the error to the line:
include_recipe 'mysql::client' if configure_options =~ /mysql/
in the php cookbook, but I have no idea how to disable it from running and I can't simply replace the line as it comes from Berkshelf and get's overwritten.
Apparently mysql:client is no longer a valid way of installing mysql so I'm not sure why it's there. Is this a bug or can I override this?
Thanks
As of version 6.0.0 the mysql cookbook is now a library-only cookbook. This means it no longer provides recipes. You'll want to create a wrapper cookbook that uses the mysql_client resource and use that recipe instead.
