Step 6: Update /usr/local/unravel/etc/unravel.properties with the JDBC URL to Azure MySQL instance.

  • Check MySQL JDBC driver is located in Unravel Java classpath /usr/local/unravel/share/java/

    wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz -O /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz
cd /tmp
tar xvzf /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/unravel/share/java
sudo cp /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar /usr/local/unravel/share/java
sudo cp /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar /usr/local/unravel/dlib/unravel

unravel.jdbc.password=<admin password>
unravel.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://<Server name>:3306/unravel_mysql_prod
unravel.jdbc.url.params=useSSL=true&requireSSL=false

  • Restart Unravel daemons.

    /etc/init.d/unravel_all.sh restart

  • Create database/tables for Unravel

    mysql --host=Server name --port=3306 --user Server admin login name -padmin password -e 'create database unravel_mysql_prod'

/usr/local/unravel/dbin/db_schema_upgrade.sh

  • Create the default admin user for Unravel UI.

    sudo /usr/local/unravel/install_bin/db_initial_inserts.sh | sudo /usr/local/unravel/install_bin/db_access.sh
