QUICKSTART.mysql

Quickstart instructions for MyDNS (MySQL installation):

...............................................................................

1.	Configure and install MyDNS.

	$ ./configure
	$ make
	# make install

	If "make" fails, please read the "README.mysql" file located in this
	directory.

...............................................................................

2.	Create a database called `mydns' on your MySQL server.

	$ mysqladmin -u <username> -p create mydns
	Enter password:

...............................................................................

3.	Create a user the mydns(8) server can use to access the `mydns' database.

	$ mysql -u <user> -p mydns
	Enter password:
	mysql> GRANT SELECT ON mydns.* TO <user>@localhost
	       IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';

...............................................................................

4.	Create the tables in the `mydns' database.

	$ mydns --create-tables | mysql -u <user> -p mydns
	Enter password:

...............................................................................

5. Create your configuration file.

	# make conf

...............................................................................

6.	Edit the configuration file.  Change the `db-user' and `db-pass'
	values to reflect the user name and password you created in step 3.

...............................................................................

7.	Start `mydns'.  You may want to add something like this to your startup
	scripts.

	# mydns --background

...............................................................................


If you currently have a name server running BIND or something else, you can use
the `mydnsimport' program to import the data from that server into your new
MyDNS database.  See the user's manual for details.
