I am facing an issue between the Zenoss core installation and MySQL rpms. The Zenoss core installation won't complete, complaining about mysql-client and mysql-shared versions, even though I have newer versions installed. As suggested in this Quest/answer ,
I also tried to install a 5.5.41 client package but it did not change anything. Here's the situation:
[root@bstfe1032 Zenoss]# yum -y --nogpgcheck localinstall zenoss-4.2.0.el6.x86_64.rpm
[...]
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: zenoss-4.2.0-1586.el6.x86_64 (/zenoss-4.2.0.el6.x86_64)
Requires: mysql-client >= 5.5.13
Error: Package: zenoss-4.2.0-1586.el6.x86_64 (/zenoss-4.2.0.el6.x86_64)
Requires: mysql-shared >= 5.5.13
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@bstfe1032 Zenoss]# rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
MySQL-client-5.6.22-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-server-5.6.22-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared-5.6.22-1.el6.x86_64
The Zenoss core install doc points to MySQL packages from mysql.org and this is where I got them.
Any idea of what I should try next ? I am using CentOS 6, this is a testbed and not a production machine because I wanted to give Zenoss core a test drive.
You are mixing "old" packages (zenoss-4.2.0) with too new one (MySQL 5.6) and it's not probably handled correctly in Zenoss core packages.
The best option for you is to use autodeploy script - https://github.com/zenoss/core-autodeploy/blob/4.2.5/core-autodeploy.sh
It will download last Zenoss packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/zenoss/files/zenoss-4.2/zenoss-4.2.5/ and MySQL packages from ftp://mirror.anl.gov/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.5/
See http://wiki.zenoss.org/Install_Zenoss for more information.
