Prerequisits

• PHP (version 4.x or higher?)
• an ADOdb compliant database

Third party packages

Read the database specific documentation. A MySQL setup
(post-installation) example
is provided

Example: Setup a MySQL environment

a. Startup mysql server/daemon

b. Set an admin password

 mysqladmin -u root password 'your-password' 
 

Create a database called 'brim'

The database name can be something else.

 $ mysql [-u user] [-p] 
 mysql > create database brim; 
 mysql > quit 
 

 $ mysqladmin [-u user] [-p] create brim 
 

Create the table structure for the application

This step must be repeated for the framework and each
of its plugins!!!!

 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < 'path.to'/create.xxx.sql 
 

Example

If you are in the root directory of the brim application,
you will have to specify the following:

 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < framework/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/banking/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/bookmarks/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/calendar/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/collections/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/contacts/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/news/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/notes/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/passwords/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 $ mysql brim [-u user] [-p] < plugins/tasks/sql/create.xxx.sql 
 

Setup permissions

 grant all rights to user 
 $ mysql -u root -p 

 mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin' WITH GRANT OPTION; 
 

Edit the
framework/configuration/databaseConfiguration.php file for the correct settings.

Your application will not work otherwise :-)
