Install CA Open Space › Verify the Prerequisites

Verify the Prerequisites

Before you install CA Open Space Release 3.0, verify the following prerequisites:

• Ensure that the server where you want to install CA Open Space supports the hardware and the Operating System requirements as mentioned in the Release Notes.
• Download Liferay CE 6.1 GA edition zip file.

  Note: Do not install Liferay manually as the CA Open Space installer unzips the downloaded file and installs Liferay.

• Install MySQL 5.5.27 from http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-5.5&v=5.5.27
• Install MySQL Workbench from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ and use it for the following actions:
  1. Create a DB Admin User (For example, OSOP).

     Open MySQL Workbench and navigate to Manage Security, Security, Users and Privileges, Add Account, (For example, OSOP). Verify that Limited Connectivity to Hosts Matching is set to %.

     Note: You can also use Root as a DB Admin User but ensure that Limited Connectivity to Hosts Matching is set to %.

  2. Provide the following roles in the Administrative Roles tab: UserAdmin, SecurityAdmin, DBManager, DBDesigner, BackupAdmin.
  3. Ensure that the role has all of the following privileges, and if not, manually add them:

Note: The custom role is created when you select Create Table Space, Execute, File, References, and Shutdown privileges.

1. Add all schema privileges for the DB Admin User (created while installing MySQL Workbench) or the root user (if Root is specified as the DB Admin User) by clicking Add Entry from the Schema Privileges tab in Mysql Workbench. Ensure that you have checked the Grant option.

• (Recommended) For a better search performance, set up a separate Solr search engine server with the CA Open Space server pointing to it. For more information, see the Install and Configure Apache Solr topic.
