Installing MySQL

This section describes how to set up a MySQL open source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) to use with Alfresco. Some of the Alfresco installation wizards install an embedded instance of MySQL that is configured with the correct settings. If you prefer to install MySQL database independently, this section describes the configuration settings that you should use:

  1. Browse to the MySQL download site: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads.
  2. Locate and select the appropriate package for your platform. Alfresco requires MySQL 5.0.67 or higher.
  3. If prompted, specify a location on your system in which to download and install MySQL.
  4. Browse to the location where you downloaded MySQL and double-click on the installer file.
  5. The MySQL Server Setup wizard guides you through the MySQL installation, followed by the Configuration wizard.

Verifying the MySQL installation

Once you have installed MySQL, this task describes how to verify that it was installed correctly:

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. In the prompt, enter:
    mysql -u root -p
    
  3. Type the password that you set during the installation and press Enter. Information about the installed MySQL version displays. If no errors are reported, MySQL is installed and running.
  4. In the mysql> prompt, type exit to exit MySQL. You have verified that the MySQL installation was successful.
