You must have a valid installation of mysql (i've
been using 3.23.47 in development).
-
If you downloaded the win32 exe, simply
double click this file and follow the prompts
for installation. The install will create a new
system variable called OOPS_HOME, which points to
where you installed OOPS.
If you downloaded the zip file, unzip the files
into a desired directory and create a new system
property pointing to this directory called OOPS_HOME
-
Browse to the installation directory and
locate the oops.sql file. This file contains the
correct db structure for OOPS. Execute the sql in
this file against a new database.
-
Step 3: Locate your oops.properties file and
modify the settings to suite your environment.
As the server administrator you should have all
the information you need. In any case, example
values are described in the properties file.
-
Step 4: Start up a dos prompt and browse the
directory tree to your oops installation. Go to
the same directory as the file oops-setup.bat.
Execute this file with the following command:
C:\oops> oops-setup.bat
This will execute a class file that checks for
database connectivity and checks for an administrative
user in the database. If one is not found, it will
create one with the default settings.
-
Execute the oops.bat file with the following
command:
C:\oops> oops.bat
This will start the application and prompt you to login.
Enter the default user name and password described in
step 4. Go to File > My Details in the menu and modify the
settings there to suite - i highly recommend changing the
username and password.
-
Create other users as required, giving them the
required permissions to add projects, users, components
and releases.
-
I suggest locking down the database, giving your
users only the rights to perform the desired functions
against the oops database. Each user will require at least
the ability to SELECT/CREATE/MODIFY/DELETE rows in all the oops
tables. You may want to restrict their rights against other
databases you may have. In any case I suggest you read some
or all of the following in regards to setting up mySQL
permissions:

- www.mysql.org
-
Your done. You should now be able to set up
your client users.
