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 at gmail.com
ReportedBy: magnus at enger.priv.no
QAContact: ian.walls at 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?
