This page describes how to create the VCL MySQL database and import the VCL database schema.

Prerequisites

1. You should have mysql server 5.x installed. If mysql server is not installed:

   yum install mysql-server -y
   /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
   /sbin/service mysqld start
   

2. Your host based firewall (IPTables) should be configured to allow traffic from the web server and management server to connect to TCP port 3306 (mysqld).

Setting Up the Database for VCL

1. create a database in mysql named for use with VCL

   CREATE DATABASE vcl;
   

2. create a user with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE privileges on the database you just created
   NOTE: Replace vcluserpassword with your own password!

   GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON vcl.* TO 'vcluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'vcluserpassword';
   

3. get vcl.sql file

   svn export https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/mysql/vcl.sql
   

4. import vcl.sql file into database

   mysql vcl < vcl.sql
