Hello Josh,
The RPM installation does not allow you to customize the MySQL options
during the installation. You have 2 choices of how you would like to
proceed:
Choice #1: Rebuild the RPM after changing zenoss.spec
Install the source RPM and modify the zenoss.spec in
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS. At the top you will find %define's for the MySQL
settings. After you finish modifying the script you can rebuild the
binary RPM using the following command (run as root):
# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/zenoss.spec
Be warned tho - the rpmbuild requires a few additional dependencies in
order to build. And it takes a long time. :)
Choice #2: Modify /opt/zenoss/bin/zenoss_init and set the values manually
The zenoss_init script is run when the /opt/zenoss/.installed file does
not exists and it is responsible for creating and initializing the MySQL
and Zeo DB. If you modify /opt/zenoss/bin/zenoss_init and also rm
/opt/zenoss/.installed you should be able to achieve the customization
you're looking for.
I recommend choice #2. It requires < 30 seconds and will get you the
customization you're looking for. If you're feeling ambitious and would
like to rebuild the RPM send a reply and I'll send you a link to the src
RPM (it's not out on sourceforge.net).

Hello,
I have just installed the ZenOSS RPM per the instructions in the RPM
Installation PDF. I have everything up and running fine, but I was
given no option to set my MySQL options (user/database name, etc).
Shouldn't the installation ask me these credentials and then populate
the database with some things? I know that when installing from source,
install.sh should do this. What am I missing in my RPM installation? I
can see that it is trying to access a database with the username
"zenoss" but is unsuccessful.
This is a CentOS 4.4 box with MySql 5.0.22.
Thanks,
Josh Baird
