[Koha] MySQL password at Koha Live DVD

[Mark Tompsett]

Greetings,

Having read those instructions, I would like to make two comments. Let's 
start with the positive:
The MySQL portion is fine.
Then the real reason for this reply: NEVER ASSUME A LINE TO CHANGE IS A 
FIXED LINE NUMBER!
Someone may have enabled a biblio or authority server and edited the XML 
file already.

I personally would suggest:
- edit the koha-conf.xml file using sudo <favorite editor> /{the path to the 
config file}/koha-conf.xml
- look for the line starting with <config> (e.g. In vi it would be exactly: 
/^<config>)
- then a couple lines down it should be apparent.
- however, you probably want to then look for <pass> (e.g. In vi it would be 
exactly: /<pass>)
Now you are likely at the right line.

Consider this command in the package installation instructions:
$ sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' 
/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml
This tells you what Koha thinks is the password to access the MySQL database 
belonging to it. You may need to tweak it to be the path to your 
koha-conf.xml, but the idea is the same.

Obviously, before and after will differ.

GPML,
