Hi, all. This is my 4th attempt to install Koha on Ubuntu and I am being extra careful that I do it right. I'm using the wiki page at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu and am now at step 7 of the installation. I need to know what to do about the following command:
GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Do I just copy and paste this as-is, or do I enter different values for "root", "localhost", "password", etc?
I think that becomes clearer if you look at INSTALL.ubuntu, where the corresponding command says: mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>'; See: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.ubuntu;hb=... Documentation for GRANT: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html So, you get to choose the name of the database ("kohadata" on the wiki page), the name of the database user ("root" on the wiki) and the password ("password" on the wiki). You should leave "localhost" as it is - unless you want to run your database on another machine than the one on which you are installing Koha (and you probably don't want to do that ;-) Good luck!
