Using Another MySQL Server After Installation

To use another MySQL server after rpm installation has occurred, you must update .my.cnf files and application configuration files.

Update the .my.cnf files with your MySQL server information in each of the following locations:
- /opt/aspera/shares/.my.cnf
- /opt/aspera/shares/u/shares/.my.cnf
- /opt/aspera/shares/u/stats-collector/.my.cnf

Update the Shares application config file located at /opt/aspera/shares/u/shares/config/database.yml.

Replace the bolded example variables with your MySQL server information.
                        
production:
    database: shares
    username: "mysql_user"
    password: "3xamp13MySQLp4zzw0rd1234567"
    host: 10.0.0.0
    port: 1234
    encoding: utf8
    reconnect: false
    pool: 5
                
production_stats_collector:
    database: stats_collector
    username: "mysql_user"
    password: "3xamp13MySQLp4zzw0rd1234567"
    host: 10.0.0.0
    port: 1234
    encoding: utf8
    reconnect: false
    pool: 5

Update the stats collector configuration file located at /opt/aspera/shares/u/stats-collector/etc/persistence.xml.

Replace the bolded example variables with your MySQL server information.
                       
    <!-- connection URL: jdbc:mysql://HOST:PORT/DATABASE -->
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://10.0.0.0:1234/stats_collector"/>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="mysql_user"/>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="3xamp13MySQLp4zzw0rd1234567"/>

Restart all services.
```
# service aspera-shares restart
```
Disable the built-in MySQL server.
To stop the built-in MySQL from running, you must remove it from the runlevels that include it. Run the following commands:
```
# rm /opt/aspera/shares/etc/runit/runlevels/setup/mysqld
# rm /opt/aspera/shares/etc/runit/runlevels/up/mysqld
```
