http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7443 Bug #: 7443 Summary: Change the mysql commands in the INSTALL.* files Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation AssignedTo: nengard@gmail.com ReportedBy: magnus@enger.priv.no QAContact: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com Currently the instructions in INSTALL.debian, INSTALL.ubuntu and INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid for setting up the database looks like this: 103 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename> 104 $ mysql -uroot -p<password> 105 106 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. 107 Your MySQL connection id is 22 108 Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian) 109 110 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. 111 112 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>'; 113 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 114 115 mysql> flush privileges; 116 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Speaking as a not overly experienced Linux user, I think this would be slightly easier to understand: -------------------------------------------------------- $ mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 22 Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian) Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> create database <kohadatabasename>; mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> flush privileges; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) -------------------------------------------------------- This would: - avoid the constrct -uroot, which might be mistaken for a long option with one dash - use the mysql command for everything, and not drag mysqladmin into it - avoid putting the password on the commandline and thence potentially into the output of commands like top and ps, and the bash history file Opinions? Not so sure about these: - INSTALL.fedora7 has "mysql-u root-p" which i assume is a typo for "mysql -u root -p"? - INSTALL.opensuse has "mysqladmin -uroot create koha -p" which i think might be re-written in the way i suggest above? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
