Question about wiki instructions for installing Koha
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? Thanks in advance for your kind assistance. -- ================================================== "The man, who, by his own and his family's labour, can provide a sufficiency of food and raiment and a comfortable dwelling place, is not a poor man."--William Cobbett, *Cottage Economy*, 1826.

Id follow the instructions that come bundled with Koha, the INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid its updated for each release and because its in the release goes through the QA process. It says grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>'; Change the bits in <> Or just install using the debian packages for Koha BTW what version of Koha are you installing? Chris
Okay, that's where I've been going wrong. I've just been copying the string and pasting it. I think I know what to put for user and password, but how do I find out the kohadatabasename? Where did I enter that during the pr When I follow the wiki, it automatically uses the latest version, which is coming up as 3.2.4 in my case. --Jim Maroon On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 6:09 AM, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>wrote:

You want 3.2.5. 3.2.4 and earlier are subject to a security bug. The latest stable release is always available here: http://download.koha-community.org/koha-latest.tar.gz Kind Regards, Chris
The debian package is also at 3.2.5, and makes things much easier - at least I'm assuming that Ubuntu's won't cause a problem. . . 2011/3/17 Chris Nighswonger <cnighswonger@foundations.edu>:

This is the step where *you* get to decide the name (i usually just call it "koha" ;-). You will be prompted for the name when you run the "perl Makefile.PL" step further into the process. Regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no

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!
