Re: Autostarting MYSQL

hi Mike,

Okay, I looked up how I start MYSQL on my system. Because there's a bunch of settings I want to be set properly for MYSQL, I decided the best thing was to create a MYSQL subsystem, and put all of the settings into the subsystem description. That way, you can simply start the subsystem to start MySQL... Without that, it'd be tricky to start it with consistent settings.

So I created a library (also named MYSQL) and created the subsystem objects, etc, in it. I wrote a CL program to create the library and it's objects (so I'd be able to recreate it later if necessary) here's the code for that:

http://code.midrange.com/aa6f8aed17.html

What you'd want to do is modify that CL program as appropriate (in particular, look at the path name where I'm keeping MySQL.. it might not be the place you prefer to use) On my box, I named that source member SETUP

Then compile it:

CRTCLPGM SETUP SRCFILE(xxx/QCLSRC)

Then run it:

CALL SETUP PARM(MYSQL)

(the parm is the name of the library where you want to put the subsystem and other objects -- I used the name MYSQL for that library.) It will also create a QCLSRC file in that library. For convenience I put all of my CL code into that source file. (Which doesn't quite make sense since you already need the code to create the library in the first place -- but I threw the CL in there after I ran it so I didn't lose it.)

Then you need a program named STRMYSQL to start MYSQL (it's called by the subsystem created above). Here's the code for that program:

http://code.midrange.com/637d09aca2.html

And I also created another one called ENDMYSQL that ends the server properly. Here's the code for that:

http://code.midrange.com/dd2725206e.html

Then, in QSTRUPPGM, you should be able to do this:

STRSBS SBSD(MYSQL/MYSQL)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)

(though, I haven't tested that part. My startup process is different... on my box, QSTRUPPGM submits another program that does a whole lot of other processing, and eventually runs those commands... but I assume it'll work just as well if run directly from QSTRUPPGM)

When I start MYSQL via QP2term, I follow the following steps
CALL QP2TERM

cd /QOpenSys/usr/local/mysql/mysql

bin/mysqld_safe &

I can hit my Joomla website after running this.
I have searched for example of autostarting MYSQL but so far I can't get
it to work.
Here is my latest CL. DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(80) DCL VAR(&PARM1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20) DCL VAR(&NULL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'00') CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) + VALUE('/QOpenSys/usr/local/mysql/mysql/') CHGVAR VAR(&PARM1) VALUE('bin/mysqlsafe &') /*CHGVAR VAR(&PARM1) VALUE('bin/mysqlsafe --user=mysql & *TCAT *NULL'*/

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE(&CMD *TCAT &NULL) CHGVAR VAR(&PARM1) VALUE(&PARM1 *TCAT &NULL) PASESHELL: CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM(&CMD &PARM1)

When I run the CL I get "Not authorized to i5/OS PASE program
/QOpenSys/usr/local/mysql/mysql/"

I'm not sure what I need to do to get this working. (both versions of
&PARM1 give the same result.)
Any ideas?

Thanks Mike
