MySQL Community Server Setup

!!STUB

Introduction

The MySQL Community Server is an ideal SQL backend for local development on the Hashtag Framework. It's powerful and free.

First Steps...

Download MySQL Community Server, and follow instructions to create a root user and password, and start the service.

Update your hashtag.conf file... change these "localhost" settings, and ensure a "," comma trails every value except the last.

  • "database_host": "mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=CHOOSE-A-DB-NAME;charset=utf8mb4"
  • "database_username": "root"
  • "database_password": "YOUR-ROOT-PASSWORD"

You could also set your "database_username" value to something other than "root", but you'd need to ensure whatever user you created has full permissions on the database you named.
