1. download openbd
2. download farcry
3. download/install mysql, the odbc driver and the jdbc driver from
the same site.
4. place openbd in a directory like c:\data\cf
5. place farcry installation dir in the web root (e.g. C:\Data\cf
\jetty-6.1.12-OpenBD\webroot_cfmlapps\cfmlWebContext_1)
6. create a mysql database called dbname (the user should be 'root'
and include the password that you chose during the set up)
7. install the windows obdc driver from the msyql site (you will use
this for the datasource in windows)
8. place the jdbc driver somewhere and point to it as a classpath in
the environmental variables (it's an option that comes up with control
panel > system > advanced)
9. go to administrative tools (under control panel) and create a
system data source for the db
It will need the host name (localhost) user name (root), password etc
- taken from mysql
10. edit bluedragon.xml in the directory C:\Data\cf\jetty-6.1.12-OpenBD
\etc\openbd
include the following query (using 'root', 'dbname' and 'password'as
the raw info) between /cfmail and /cfapplication
<cfquery>
<datasource name="dbname">
<password>mysqlpassword</password>
<servername>localhost</servername>
<sqldelete>true</sqldelete>
<sqlupdate>true</sqlupdate>
<username>root</username>
<drivername>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</drivername>
<sqlstoredprocedures>true</sqlstoredprocedures>
<sqlinsert>true</sqlinsert>
<sqlselect>true</sqlselect>
<connectiontimeout>120</connectiontimeout>
<drivertype>3</drivertype>
<port>3306</port>
<databasename>dbname</databasename>
<description>MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver</description>
<logintimeout>120</logintimeout>
<hoststring>jdbc:odbc:eref5</hoststring>
<maxconnections>24</maxconnections>
<name>dbname</name>
</datasource>
</cfquery>
11. open a cmd shell and navigate to the C:\Data\cf\jetty-6.1.12-
OpenBD diretory. Type in the following to start the servers and
provide enough stack space for openbd and for farcry cms to install;
java -Xmx500M -jar start.jar
12. go to http://localhost:8080/farcry/ and the install should start.
Let me if you get stuck and I'll add more detail. The thing that
clinched it for me was setting the java stack manually using the cmd
to both fix the heap size and start openbd.
