Database creation

The demo uses MySQL as its underlying database. A bash script is included that will create the database for you. You can run this script as many times as you like, and as long as you choose a different name for the database each time, it will create another configuration file and database.

When bin/createDB.sh is executed, it will ask you for:

You must answer all the questions, as there are no defaults.

After createDB.sh has finished, the database will be ready and two files will have been created, conf/DBNAME.conf and conf/create_DBNAME.sql where DBNAME is the name you chose for the database. DBNAME.conf will be used by bin/load.pl and cgi-bin/rdftm.pl to access the database. create_DBNAME.sql is used by the script to create the database, tables and users. If you ever need to recreate the database, you can use this file.
