Hosting the Database Myself

Installing the Database - 1 of 2

Before continuing: MySQL must be installed and a root or admin-level MySQL user credential must be created before continuing. (This is not the same as a unix root credential.)

1. Figure out your <loris-url> (It's probably the IP address of your remote machine)
2. Open your internet browser
3. Navigate to <loris-url>/installdb.php
4. Fill in <mysql-host-name>; if the MySQL server is on the same machine that is hosting Loris, it will be localhost
5. Fill in <mysql-admin-username>; e.g. root -- must be an existing MySQL user
6. Fill in <mysql-admin-password>
7. Fill in <mysql-database>; this database must not exist yet as the installer will try to create it
8. Submit
