-= MySQL Installation Instructions =-

These instructions make the assumption that you are already well aware
on how to install and configure MySQL.    If you have never had the
opportunity to configure Postgre, we would recommend the one visits the
following site for documentation of information to proceed: 
http://www.mysql.org/

Since version 1.2.0 of Ethereal Realms, the use of Database dumps were
put into use instead of a long complicated configuration script that
will only see use once.   Not only does this allow for an exact snapshot
of the database schemia, but makes use of restoration tools which allow
for less opportunity of failure. 

The ./mysql directory contains the following files:
        webchat.access
        webchat.schema
        webchat.data

Please change the password being embeded in ./mysql/webchat.data in
order to have the database user be more secure.   Change it to what
you wish and adapt Database.pm accordingly later on in the install.

In order to 'recover' the database for use with Ethereal, you will need
to make use of two tools which are included with a normal install of
Postgre.  Please note, this makes the assumption that the MySQL daemon
is running and that a user named 'webchat' is created.    If this has
yet to have been done, please consult Postgre's documentation.

Once this has been done the following commands can be issued to get
things up and running on the database side:

 cd [location of mysqladmin and mysql]
 mysqladmin -u root -p create webchat
 mysql -u root -p mysql < [path]/mysql/webchat.access
  (Lines will be passing by)
 mysql -u root -p webchat < [path]/mysql/webchat.schema
  (Lines will be passing by)
 mysql -u root -p webchat < [path]/mysql/webchat.data
  (Lines will be passing by) 

The username needed to perform these tasks may be different depending on
your access, which implies the switches may need to change in order to
function as intended.   If the database is used on a multiuser sustem,
please consult your Systems administrator.

NOTE:  Flush the access priviliges in order for the newly created user
  to actually be able to log into the system.
