[Web-erp-users] First Time Installation under Red Hat 8.0

[ronald c. <ro...@po...>]

Dear Mr. Daintree,

First of all I would like to congratulate
for such a good program it has all the 
features that I allways needed.

No this is the way I installed it, I hope
that it helps to other new users of web-erp.

I installed RH 8.0 from the CD's that came 
with the Book "A Practical Guide to Red 
Hat Linux 8" (I haven't used linux since
1996); and I selected the server installation
and in the packages I chose the already inc
luded Apache, Mysql, Php which as I see so 
far are fully compatible with web-erp.

After finishing the installation I logged
in to the computer (linux, not web-erp yet)
and I copied the compressed file of web-erp
to the folder /var/www/html and I decompressed the file so web-erp was installed in /var/www/html/web-erp.

After that I went to server settings: services and I activated the apache and the
mysql.

Then I went to System Tools: Terminal.
and I did as in the instructions file:

shell> mysql -u root mysql (I pressed enter)
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root=PASSWORD('new_password'); (I pressed enter)
 
then this is important:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO "web-erp"@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;(I pressed enter)

Please note the "" on the side of the web-erp
and consult your mysql manual, if you don't 
do it the same way as above your sql sentence
will give an error message.

After that I stopped the mysql (serve settings: services) and I went to /etc/my.cnf
(tip if you don't file a file in your RH 8.0
use the search tool, because depending on the
version of apache, php, mysql that you are
using the files might change folder); and I added the following line under [mysqld]
default-table-type=innodb.

Then you modify config.php which is in
/var/www/html/web-erp

web-erp instead of weberp_db_user
some_pass instead of weberp_db_pwd

After all this you can finally run
the scripts as it says in install.txt.

shell > mysql --user=web-erp --password='some_pass' < /path_to_the_sql_script/web-erp-demo.sql

or

shell > mysql --user=web-erp --password='some_pass' < /path_to_the_sql_script/web-erp-new.sql

Restart your computer

Type localhost/web-erp/index.php
and you should be happy to see web-erp
running in your computer.

Please do not forget to verify that
apache, mysql, php are running, and
that there is 1 rpm that connects 
mysql to php.

If you are runing web-erp in a LAN
and you don't know your IP address
you can go to System tools: terminal
and type ifconfig -a.

I hope this will help to others to
install web-erp.
