The following configuration parameters must be set in my.cnf

datadir

Ensure that the data dir being used has sufficient space for the initial period of PhixFlow operation.

This is in the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

binlog_format

mixed

This must be added to the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

wait_timeout

28800 (this is the default, but some installation processes set this to a much lower value)

This must be in the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

The following configuration parameters can optionally be set in my.cnf
log_bin_trust_function_creators

1

This If set in my.cnf, this must be added to the [mysqld] section of the my.cnf file.

For details on why this setting is recommended - and the alternatives if you do not want to set in this my.cnf , - see Running non-deterministic functions

If you add all parameters above to the my.cnf, including the optional parameters, then the end of the [mysqld] section of you your my.cnf file should look something like this:

Code Block
[mysqld]
...
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
...
wait_timeout = 28800
...
binlog_format = mixed
log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1

Database

The following settings are parameters of required for the PhixFlow database required by a PhixFlow installation.

Note

All of these parameters are reflected in the example MariaDB database creation command in Configure the Database.

You will need a database, and a login with all privileges on that database. The database must be created with the following options:

...

PhixFlow's migration scripts sometimes require the use of non-deterministic functions. To run, these require either a setting (log_bin_trust_function_creators) to be updated, or to be run with sufficient privileges.

...

You can permanently allow non-deterministic functions to run in migration scripts by updating updating the setting log_bin_trust_function_creators in the my.cnf file. This is convenient, because you don't have to remember to make any changes to your session when migrating. However, if running PhixFlow migration scripts. If you don't want to make this permanent change, see the following section.

Setting Instructions for setting log_bin_trust_function_creators in the my.cnf file is an optional parameter recommended are given in MariaDB installation.

Session change to allow non-deterministic functions

You can either do this in a session, or to make the setting update permanent (that is, it will persist after a database restart) add it to the my.cnf fileIf you do not update the log_bin_trust_function_creators setting in my.cnf, you must make sure that your session either has this setting updated, or that you run migration scripts with sufficient privileges. Full details for doing this are given in Upgrading PhixFlow.
