YFKlog 0.3.6 INSTALLATION GUIDE -------------------------------- More detailled instructions at http://fkurz.net/ham/yfklog/doc/ -------------------------------- YFKlog 0.3.6 comes with a PERL Makefile. $ perl Makefile.PL [PREFIX=/usr/local] # (sudo) make install will install it into PREFIX (default /usr/[bin|share/yfklog/]). That's all, you can then start 'yfk'. On the first run, you'll be taken to a configuration menu, where you can set up YFKlog according to your needs. By default, YFKlog uses a SQLite database, and you don't need to set up anything manually. For MySQL-Users only -------------------- If you want to use MySQL instead of SQLite (I recommend not to use MySQL unless you *really* know why you want to!) follow these steps: 1 Create a Database (this example uses 'YFKlog' as dbname) and give the user the needed permissions for it (replace "username" with your login-name and chose a password for 'passwd'). $ mysqladmin -u root -p create YFKlog $ mysql -u root -p mysql> GRANT ALL ON YFKlog.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; mysql> quit 2 Start YFKlog. $ yfk On the first run, you'll be taken to a configuration menu, where you have to set the database server, port, db-name, username and password. Enter these values and you're ready to go.
