Condition or Error

  • The command tungsten_provision_thl fails when using Percona Server.

  • When running the command tungsten_provision_thl, you see the error:

    There were issues configure the sandbox MySQL server
  • MySQL Sandbox fails when using Percona Server.

  • In the $CONTINUENT_ROOT/service_logs/provision_thl.log file, you see entries similar to:

  • In the $CONTINUENT_ROOT/provision_thl.log file, you see entries similar to:

Causes

  • This issue occurs because of a problem in Percona Server tarball distributions.

    There are two issues with Percona Server tarball distributions, which depends on the version you have downloaded.

    Look in the log file $CONTINUENT_ROOT/service_logs/provision_thl.log for:

    • mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6
    • mysql_install_db Error in my_thread_global_end()

Rectifications

  • To resolve this issue in Centos, install openssl by running the command:

    shell> sudo yum install openssl098e

    Alternatively, use Oracle MySQL or MariaDB which do not experience these issues.
