Vagrant provisioning fails with unsupported version of mysql

[michaeldunstan]

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/maoo/alfresco-boxes.git
cd alfresco-boxes/common
sh create-vendor-cookbooks.sh
cd ../vagrant
vagrant up

Then fails with:

ERROR: Unsupported Version: You requested to install a Mysql Client version that is not supported by your platform
ERROR: Platform: debian 12.04 - Request Mysql Client version: 5.7
ERROR: Availabe versions for your platform are: 5.5

Hi, thanks for the issue.

Can you try to set

node[alfresco][mysql_version] = '5.5'

If that works we can use that default if platform is Ubuntu 12

[michaeldunstan]

Yup. I edited vendor-cookbooks/alfresco/recipes/_attributes.rb then ran:

vagrant destroy -f
vagrant up

That fixes the install for mysql. But now the provisioning fails with problems installing tomcat:

You can override additional_tomcat_packages defined in https://github.com/maoo/chef-alfresco/blob/master/attributes/tomcat.rb

My apologies for these regressions on master, I'm working on centos now. You can still use tag 0.4.2 though.

Thanks a lot for the valuable feedback!

[michaeldunstan]

I've tried several variations for additional_tomcat_packages:

%w{tomcat-native apr abrt}
%w{tomcat apr abrt}
%w{apr abrt}
%w{abrt}
%w{}

The first four all fail with something along the lines of "No version specified, and no candidate version available for ...". The last fails with:

================================================================================

I'll do a clean checkout and try using the centos64 box for vagrant.

[michaeldunstan]

No luck using the centos64 box profile either:

git clone https://github.com/maoo/alfresco-boxes.git
cd alfresco-boxes/common
sh create-vendor-cookbooks.sh
cd ../vagrant
BOX_OS=centos64 vagrant up

Fails with:

I'll try to reproduce the issue as soon as chef-alfresco is stable (still implementing haproxy configurations).

In the meantime, consider adding tag: "chef-alfresco-0.4.2" to chef-alfresco on https://github.com/maoo/alfresco-boxes/blob/master/common/Berksfile

If you rather want to checkout the latest developments on chef-alfresco, I'd advise to check it out and use Kitchen to run locally.

[michaeldunstan]

Thanks @maoo. I don't have any experience using Kitchen. I'll have a go at pinning chef-alfresco to that tag.

Hi, I'm also getting an issue about my_sql with the latest version of vagrant file: ==> default: Chef Client failed. 13 resources updated in 62.81635205 seconds ==> default: [2015-07-30T21:46:36+00:00] ERROR: mysql2_chef_gem[default](alfresco::mysql-local-server line 23) had an error: RuntimeError: mysql_client[default](/tmp/vagrant-chef-solo/e596d95dcb9dd93452970bb36b59c5d3/cookbooks/mysql2_chef_gem/libraries/provider_mysql2_chef_gem_mysql.rb line 16) had an error: RuntimeError: Unsupported Mysql Client Version ==> default: [2015-07-30T21:46:37+00:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError: Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1)

[maoo]

Can you please test on the master now? Never faced this issue anymore, since the last chef-alfresco releases (0.6.x)
