----------------------------------------
Summary: Ambiguous documentation
Key: CONNECTORS-842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-842
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.4.1
Reporter: Chris Griffin
Priority: Trivial
The documentation is lacking the following instructions for running the
initialize.sh script when the database is located on a remote server. For
example, we created a MySQL database on a different server than where we
installed manifoldCF. When executing the initialze.sh script, the database was
created, as well as the user; however, the user was created with client access
of "localhost" by default. When the script got to the "creating tables" phase
as the user, instead of the admin user, it received an "access denied". After
looking through the code, I saw that the following setting should be set in
properties.xml:
<property name="org.apache.manifoldcf.mysql.client" value="%"/>
The % sign indicates that the user can login to the mysql host from anywhere.
I could have put the ip address of the server where I am running manifoldCF as
well, but we have no particular security concerns in our dev environment.
After setting this, the script ran successfully.
Thanks,
Chris Griffin
