Hi, Ashok. Here is my list of changes for the technical installation
instructions for Mifos
X<https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/blob/develop/INSTALL.md>.
These are based on our discussion during the 13 Feb meeting.
* *Install with Admin rights:* For Windows, mention to install all
software with Administrator rights (right-click, then "Run as
Administrator"). I do not know whether a similar action is needed on Linux
or Mac.
*(Also, there is a wrinkle where you cannot right-click and "Run as
Administrator" for an MSI, which is the format used by the MySQL
installer. I read about this today, and found the best workaround is to
open an Administrator command prompt, then run the MSI from there. We will
describe this carefully and clearly on the non-technical installation
instructions; however, for the technical .md, perhaps it is assumed the
reader will know or figure this out on his/her own.) *
* *Java, 32 vs 64-bit:* Add something similar to this: "If you have a
32-bit OS, install and point to 32-bit Java; if you have a 64-bit OS,
install and point to 64-bit Java."
* *MySQL root password, set in tenants DB: *Add something similar to this:
"After installing MySQL, if you used a root password other than 'mysql',
run the following query:
use mifosplatform-tenants ;
update tenants set schema_password = '*your_root_password*' where id = 1 ;"
* *Tomcat, use installer:* Add something similar to this: "For the Tomcat
installation, use the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer. It will
install 64-bit Tomcat on a 64-bit OS, and 32-bit Tomcat on a 32-bit OS."
* *MySQL Connector/J: *Clarify that the current version of Connector/J
available at the MySQL download page is acceptable. Remove the reference
to a specific version number (currently the .md has
"mysql-connector-java-5.1.22", but the latest release is 5.1.30 and I
assume the version# will continue to increase over time). Also, the reader
should change the "Select Platform" drop-down on the MySQL Connector/J
download page, from "Microsoft Windows" to "Platform Independent", so that
they may download the .zip (or .tar.gz) file, extract the
"mysql-connector-java-[version#]" file, and move it into the
[tomcat_home]/lib folder.
Please let me know if I stated any of this incorrectly, or missed anything
else that is needed.
Thanks!
Todd
