ESET Remote Administrator on Debian, installation issue

[Inknowa 0]

Hi everyone, first, sorry about my english, I've got to improve it. I'm installing ESET Remote Administrator on a server running Debian, but I'm not an expert of Linux and I have issues constantly. I follow the steps of the install manual perfectly, but when I arrive to the part of the installation of the server, I've got an issue that I can't resolve. 

 

First, when I've got the next response:

 

Extracting archive, please wait...

Archive extracted to /tmp/tmp.fwDTVw37c7.

Checking OpenSSL ... done [OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016]

Reading previous installation settings ... failure

Checking installed version... done

Status of current installation is: NEW

Checking database connection ... failure

 

Error: It is not possible to store big blocks of data in the database. Please reconfigure the database server first.

 

I've searched and I found that I've got to add a line in my my,cnf for this issue, but when I make it, I've got the same error. After that, I found that I have to add the configuration of innodb_log_file_size and innodb_log_files_in_group, but the problem is that when I make it, when I restart mysql server I've got the next error:

 

service mysql restart

Job for mysql.service failed. See 'systemctl status mysql.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

 

I know I'm making something wrong, but I don't know where is the problem and I can't found a solution anywhere. Because of that, I put here my configuration of my.cnf and if somebody can help me it will make me a big favor:

 

#

# The MySQL database server configuration file.

#

# You can copy this to one of:

# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,

# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.

# One can use all long options that the program supports.

# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with

# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.

Hi, I would recommend you to:

1. backup your database (if you have any)
2. uninstall mysql-server and uninstall ODBC connector (unixodbc libmyodbc)
3. download and install mysql-server from official MySQL page hxxp://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/
4. download and install latest Generic Linux ODBC connector from hxxp://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

• Look at MySQL official documentation 
• Look at this article, it is similar to your problem. Do not follow it exactly, it is for other Linux distribution.

max_allowed_packet = 33M

innodb_log_file_size = 200M

innodb_log_files_in_group = 2M

 

Hello,

 

parameter innodb_log_files_in_group is of numerical type and expects number between 1 and 100 according to documentation. I would suggest to try innodb_log_files_in_group = 2 and restart server.

Have you seen it using 2M somewhere in ESET documentation or KBs?

Hi, thanks for your answers. Respect to the value of innodb_log_files_in_group, I forgot to say that I prove to put innodb_log_files_in_group = 2 without the M and it didn't works, for that reason I put 2M later. I'm going to follow your instructions janoo, and I will tell you the result. Thanks again

Just checked again your configuration and there are two statements configuring value of max_allowed_packet in section [mysqld]. The second one (max_allowed_packet=4M) will override value of first and that will be reason why ERA database checks are failing.

 

Also be aware that ERA supports MySQL since version 5.5 and does not support MariaDB at all. More information about database check failures may be available in installer log: /var/log/eset/RemoteAdministrator/EraServerInstaller.log

Thank you!! It works good following the steps sayed by janoo, thanks everyone for your help!!

Sorry, I have another problem. Following the steps included on the install manual, I've installed java and tomcat with the next command:

 

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk tomcat7

 

It works good, but on the next step, that says to implement the packet of Web Console era.war with the command:

 

cp era.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

 

I have the next result:

 

cp era.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

cp: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre «era.war»: No existe el fichero o el directorio

 

But I don't understand because I've installed tomcat7 without errors. Any suggestion?

 

EDIT: Resolved, I wasn't working on the correct directory.
