PCSI Kits of Open Source Software for OpenVMS

A North American mirror site and an Australian mirror site are also available.

If you wish to compile the software yourself, complete source packages are available here or from the North American mirror site.

Zlib V1.2.1

Zlib is a compression/decompression library used by several software packages, including MySQL and Python.

By default, the installation procedure installs this library package in the SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ] directory. To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of the PRODUCT command. In this case, the library package will be installed in the dev:[dir.LIBZ] directory.

Installation

1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

   $ UNZIP "-V" ZLIB-V0102-1-1

3. Install the Zlib package to your chosen destination.

   $ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib  (default) or ... $ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

4. Finally, run the DCL procedure STARTUP.COM to define the necessary logicals.

   (You might want to add the relevant line to your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.) $ @SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ]STARTUP  (default)   or ... $ @dev:[dir.LIBZ]:STARTUP

LibBZ2 V1.0.2

LibBZ2 is a block-sorting compression/decompression library used by several software packages, including Python.

By default, the installation procedure installs this library package in the SYS$COMMON:[LIBBZ2] directory. To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of the PRODUCT command. In this case, the library package will be installed in the dev:[dir.LIBBZ2] directory.

Installation

1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

   $ UNZIP "-V" LIBBZ2-V0100-2-1

3. Install the library package to your chosen destination.

   $ PRODUCT INSTALL libbz2  (default)   or ... $ PRODUCT INSTALL libbz2 /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

4. Finally, run the DCL procedure STARTUP.COM to define the necessary logicals.

   (You might want to add the relevant line to your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.) $ @SYS$COMMON:[LIBBZ2]STARTUP  (default) or ... $ @dev:[dir.LIBBZ2]:STARTUP

MySQL V4.0.17

Software Requirements

1. CPQ SSL V1.0-B or V1.1 (available as a free download from HP)
2. JFP ZLIB 1.1-4 or ZLIB 1.2.1  (See above)

By default, the installation procedure installs MySQL in the SYS$COMMON:[MYSQL] directory. To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of the PRODUCT command. In this case, MySQL will be installed in the dev:[dir.MYSQL] directory.

Installation

1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

   $ UNZIP "-V" MYSQL-V0400-17-1

3. Install MySQL to your chosen destination directory.

   $ PRODUCT INSTALL mysql  (default) or ... $ PRODUCT INSTALL mysql /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

4. Change the default directory to the VMS-specific directory and run the two DCL procedure files, LOGICALS.COM and SYMBOLS.COM, to define the necessary logicals and symbols for MySQL.

   $ SET DEFAULT SYS$COMMON:[MYSQL.VMS]  (default) or ... $ SET DEFAULT dev:[dir.MYSQL.VMS] then ... $ @LOGICALS "/SYSTEM/EXEC" $ @SYMBOLS

5. (Optional) Configure the MySQL package to suit your environment by editing the file MYSQL_ROOT:[VMS]MY.CNF.
6. Run the special DCL procedure FIRST_START_MYSQLD.COM to start the MySQL server for the first time.

   $ @[.MYSQL]FIRST_START_MYSQLD . . .and wait here a few moments for the database to be created.

7. Run the special DCL procedure MYSQL_PRIVILEGES.COM to create the system tables.

   $ @[.MYSQL]MYSQL_PRIVILEGES

8. Start the MySQL monitor (client).

   $ mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.0.17-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

9. Connect to the master system table and display the existing password for ROOT (should be "" at this point).

   mysql> use mysql Database changed mysql> select Host, User, Password from user; +-----------+------+----------+ | Host | User | Password | +-----------+------+----------+ | localhost | root | | +-----------+------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

10. IMPORTANT! Define a password for the ROOT MySQL account.

    mysql> update user set Password=PASSWORD('myrootpassword') where User='root'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0 mysql> select Host, User, Password from user; +-----------+------+------------------+ | Host | User | Password | +-----------+------+------------------+ | localhost | root | 6b6403a743ef6b56 | +-----------+------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> flush privileges; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec) $

11. (Optional): You must also change the HOST field contents if you want to access MySQL from another host using the ROOT account. For example, setting HOST to '%' allows access from anywhere.
12. (Optional): Verify your password and/or host changes took effect.

    $ MYSQLADMIN -u ROOT -p STATUS Enter password: Uptime: 25 Threads: 1 Questions: 1 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 6 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 0 Queries per second avg: 0.040 $

13. Shut down the MySQL server process.

    mysql> exit Bye $ MYSQLADMIN -u ROOT -p SHUTDOWN $ MYSQLADMIN -u ROOT -p SHUTDOWN   That's right, quit twice :-)

14. Finally, run the DCL procedure MYSQL_STARTUP.COM.

    (You might want to add this line to your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.) $ @MYSQL_ROOT:[VMS]MYSQL_STARTUP

You should now have a running MySQL server!

Python V2.3.3

Full documentation and some useful links are available from the Python for VMS site.

Software Requirements

1. CPQ SSL V1.0-B or V1.1(available as a free download from HP)
2. JFP ZLIB 1.1-4 or ZLIB 1.2.1  (See above)
3. JFP LibBZ2 1.0-2  (See above)

I strongly recommend you install Python on an ODS-5 volume.

By default, the installation procedure installs Python in the SYS$COMMON:[PYTHON] directory. To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of the PRODUCT command. In this case, Python will be installed in the dev:[dir.PYTHON] directory.

Installation

1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

   $ UNZIP "-V" PYTHON-V0203-3-1

3. Install Python to your chosen destination.

   $ PRODUCT INSTALL python  (default) or ... $ PRODUCT INSTALL python /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

4. Finally, run the DCL procedure STARTUP.COM.

   (You might want to add this line to your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.) $ @PYTHON_ROOT:[VMS]STARTUP

   Shared Images

   The STARTUP.COM procedure runs two other DCL procedures: LOGICALS.COM, to set up the correct Python logicals; and INSTALL_DYNAMICS_MODULES.COM which uses the VMS INTALL command to load Python modules as shared images (requires CMKRNL privileges). By default, no modules are INSTALL'ed as shared images.

5. (Optional): Post-Installation Module Compilation

   $ SET DEFAULT PYTHON_VMS $ @SETUP $ PYTHON COMPILE_PYTHON_MODULES.PY $ PYTHON -"OO" COMPILE_PYTHON_MODULES.PY

6. (Optional): Post-Installation Module Testing

   $ SET DEFAULT PYTHON_VMS $ @SETUP $ @ALLTESTS

Remember, all PCSI kits listed below are also available from the North American mirror site and the Australian mirror site.
