Database is done by installer.pl so re-run it. If you only intend to create the database then you can skip installer.pl and call this directly instead: * database must not exist if it does drop it * cd /usr/local/pf/ mysqladmin --host=<host> --port=<port> -u <admin_user> create <database> mysql --host=<host> --port=<port> -u <admin_user> -p <database> < db/pfschema.mysql host is localhost if you are running mysql locally port is usually 3306 database is usually pf admin_user is usually root password will be prompted for on the command line I hope this helps! -- Olivier Bilodeau [email protected] :: +1.514.447.4918 *115 :: www.inverse.ca Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
