I am having an issue installing BAM 2.0 with MySQL Database Support. I am following the instructions from Appendix B of the User Guide and when I get to page 68 of 91 under the title “Set Up BAM” I encounter the issue. Where do I go next?
It reads…
1. As root, enter ./installbam MySQL.
I get the following message which leaves me at an impass…
[root@localhost BAM]# ./installbam MySQL

Please install the correct version of Php MySQL Library and rerun the script.

ok.

BAM of dependent packages not found, nothing installed
Nothing installed.
I have the following php-mysql module installed…
[root@localhost BAM]# rpm -qa | grep php-mysql
php-mysql-4.3.2-11.1.ent
The reason why the installation script is failing is because an extra field was added in the version string for all php related packages in the red-hat distribution recently. We believe the same behavior will be seem when BAM is installed for Postgres.
A patch will be posted soon to fix the installation script.
For now the workaround is as follows:
After receiving the message nothing installed… do the following:
1) In the same directory(where the BAM software distribution resides) enter the following commands as root:
rpm -ivh canopy-logger-bam.02.00.5-12.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh canopy-engine-bam.02.00.5-12.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh canopy-sse-bam.02.00.5-12.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh canopy-gui-bam.02.00.5-12.i386.rpm
That should complete the installation of the BAM.
