Earlier this afternoon there was a discussion on installing Midgard, and how easy it was to do on FreeBSD vs. Debian.
I've had my issues with FreeBSD and recommend it be done on Debian. The question, for the novice admin is how to do it....well, below is a quick set of instructions on how to do it...
Installing Debian Sarge & Midgard - A guide for the novice admin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.1 - Jan 05 - Author - Robert Guerra
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Select the netinst CD image with Debian base. (Select the stable one)
Burn the Image to a CD, then place it in the PC in question and boot from the CD
In terms of what to do next, i've put together a detailed set of screenshots detailing each part of the Debian installer. I don't have it online yet, but you can fetch an archive of the HTML image gallery @ the following address -
http://www.privaterra.org/~rguerra/debian-net-install.zip
#-> cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# The following added to be able to fetch Midgard packages # deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386 ./ # deb-src http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/source ./
(control-d)
#-> apt-get update #-> apt-get upgrade #-> apt-get install mysql-server
#-> apt-get install dialog
It is strongly recommended to set a password for the mysql root user (which is NOT the same as the "normal" root user) with the command: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'enter-your-good-new-password-here'
for example -> /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password newpassword
When asked for MySQL root password, enter the one entered above.
Now follow the steps detailed in my earlier message, URL below..
