<h1>Installing in Gentoo Linux</h1>
|
|

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.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
1. Install everything. Check if anything is already installed and if it is remove it from the command.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
For mysql:<br>
|
|
emerge mysql mysql-python pygtk -av<br>
|
|
/etc/init.d/mysql start<br>
|
|
rc-update add mysql default<br><br>
|
|
|
|
For postgresql:<br>
|
|
emerge postgresql pygresql pygtk <br>
|
|
/etc/init.d/postgresql start<br>
|
|
rc-update add postgresql default<br>
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
2. Manual configuration steps<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
emerge --config mysql<br>
|
|
The --config step will ask you for the mysql root user - set this securely, we will create a seperate account for fpdb<br>
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
3. Create a mysql user and a database<br>
|
|
Now open a shell (aka command prompt aka DOS window):<br>
|
|
Click Start, then Run. In the opening window type "cmd" (without the inverted commas) and then click OK. A windows with a black background should open.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
Type (replacing yourPassword with the root password for MySQL you specified during installation):<br>
|
|
mysql --user=root --password=yourPassword<br><br>
|
|
|
|
It should say something like this:<br>
|
|
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.<br>
|
|
Your MySQL connection id is 4<br>
|
|
Server version: 5.0.60-log Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.60-r1<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
mysql><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Now create the actual database. The default name is fpdb, I recommend you keep it. Type this:<br>
|
|
CREATE DATABASE fpdb;<br>
|
|
|
|
Next you need to create a user. I recommend you use the default fpdb. Type this (replacing newPassword with the password you want the fpdb user to have - this can, but for security shouldn't, be the same as the root mysql password):<br>
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fpdb.* TO 'fpdb'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newPassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;<br><br>
|
|
|
|
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. I know this is insecure, will fix it before stable release.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
4. Guided installation steps<br>
|
|
Run the GUI as described in readme-user and click the menu database -> recreate tables<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
That's it! Now see readme-user.txt for usage instructions.<br>
