Subject: (Back-up E-Mail) Much Assistance is Required.
Pre Scriptum (As opposed to Post Scriptum):
I am aware
that I attempted to send this E-Mail before. However, I do not thin kthat my
E-Mail service was functioning porperly and am re-sending it to make certain
that you have received the letter. I do appologise if this causes un-due
problems, et cetera. I thank you for your Co-Operation.
To whom it may
concern:
I have just finished downloading the Koha ILS. I downloaded
Apache and MySQL (though I have Microsoft Access which is reputedly much better.
So, could I use that in lieu of MySQL?) and they appear to be functioning under
normal parameters (red feather and green light).
My OS is Microsoft
Windows 2000 Pro.
I have read and re-read your instructions to set up a
database on MySQL. It says to enter (for example) mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword .
It makes no mention of where to do this, though, and I am not sure if I should
be replacing the -uroot and -ppassword with -ucharles -pmango as in my Root is
charles and the password is mango. I don't even know if I should be doing that
at all, or if I should hit the enter button afterwards.
In short, I am
rather confused and require much assistance, indeed.
However, I also
realize that you are busy-bodies and that you may or may not have time to show
me how to do this step by step (or, at least elaborate on the instruction that
you gave (which, I must say, appear to be very good, if only I knew the very
basics, which I do not.).).
Before I sent this E-Mail, I had attempted
both an IRC dialogue and to subscribe to your mailing list, but, I received an
odd message: Not called from accepted referrer . Subsequently, I resorted to
this.
