We have Zenoss 1.1.1 installed and running on Centos 4.4. I need a little bit more information about what you have attempted thus far. The biggest issue I tripped over was upgrading an existing MySQL install from the Centos default. Did you upgrade and existing mysql install along the way, even if you just installed the default mysql package without creating any databases inside it? The long and short of it is that using rpm -Uvh upgrades the rpm package (the binaries), but not migrate existing databases. Mind you, this is for your protection. So if you have an existing mysql database on the server, you will want to see if any of your existing databases are affected before upgrading. Of course if you did not have any previous mysql databases, just remove mysql and any of the related mysql packages first. Use "rpm -qa | grep -i mysql" to identify any other packages.

I recommend using the mysql package from the centosplus repository (mysql-5.0.27-1.el4.centos). There are some incompatibilities between the default Centos 4.4 MySQL version (mysql-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1) and the version from the centosplus repository (mysql-5.0.27-1.el4.centos), so I can not be more clear about this, if you already have existing mysql databases on the system, you need to identify whether they are compatible or need to be modified first. Let me know if you need help activating the centosplus repository. On a mysql free system just do a "yum install mysql-5.0.27-1".

Hi,

I installed the vmware version ok, but cant get zenoss to install on dedicated Centos 4.4 box (couldn't find rpm for centos 4.3). Tried all sorts of mysql versions (5.0.22 -big prob with deps, 5.0.24a (incl with zenoss deps), 5.0.37. In general the errors seem to be that running:
rpm -qa | grep mysql

shows not installed but installing the mysql package via rpm -Uvh says it is 
already installed.

Is zenoss supported on centos 4.4? and what version of mysql should I use? (btw 
I'm not very linux experienced).

- Tim.
