These instructions are for Gentoo GNU/Linux, but if you adapt the steps
|
||
|
|
installing and starting stuff it should work on any other OS as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install everything. Check if anything is already installed and if it is remove it from the command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For mysql:
|
||
|
|
emerge mysql mysql-python pygtk -av
|
||
|
|
/etc/init.d/mysql start
|
||
|
|
rc-update add mysql default
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For postgresql:
|
||
|
|
emerge postgresql pygresql pygtk
|
||
|
|
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
|
||
|
|
rc-update add postgresql default
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Manual configuration steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
emerge --config mysql
|
||
|
|
The --config step will ask you for the mysql root user - set this securely, we will create a seperate account for fpdb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a user and a database, the default names are fpdb but you can choose whatever you want to. I did this in webmin, but it will be added to the GUI as well. Then set permissions for that user to: Select | Insert | Update | Delete | Create | Drop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy the .conf file from this directory to ~/.fpdb/profiles/default.conf and edit it according to what you configured just now, in particular you will definitely have to put in the password you configured. YES, THIS IS INSECURE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Guided installation steps
|
||
|
|
Run the GUI as described in readme-user and click the menu database -> recreate tables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's it!
