===Trying the iHRIS Manage Demo===
4. Explore!
 
If you'd like to install the complete demonstration site, you can grab the i2ce-ihris-manage-site-demo from Launchpad:
 
sudo apt-get install i2ce-ihris-manage-site-demo
 
To complete the set up, follow these steps (also in <tt>/usr/share/i2ce-ihris-manage-site-demo/README.debian</tt>):
 
1. This package expects MySQL to be installed locally by default. Verify that it is, or add the MySQL host to <tt>/etc/i2ce/ihris-manage-demo.apache</tt> as the value of the environment variable <tt>I2CE_DB_PROTOCOL</tt>.
 
For example, if your MySQL host is reachable at “mysql-host”, you would put
 
        SetEnv I2CE_DB_PROTOCOL mysql-host
 
in <tt>/etc/i2ce/ihris-manage-demo.apache</tt>.
 
2. Create the database for the iHRIS demonstration.  By default, the demo expects to use a database named “ihris” with the user “ihris” and the password “ihris”.
 
To create the database, use the following commands:
 
mysqladmin -uroot -p create ihris
echo "GRANT ALL ON ihris.* to ihris@localhost \
      IDENTIFIED BY 'ihris'" | mysql -uroot -p
 
3. Symlink <tt>/etc/i2ce/ihris-manage-demo.apache</tt> to <tt>/etc/apache2/conf</tt> and restart apache:
 
sudo ln -s /etc/i2ce/ihris-manage-demo.apache /etc/apache2/conf.d
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 
4. Point your browser to the URL.  By default, an alias is created at http://YOUR_SERVER/ihris/manage/Demo/. If you're installing this on your local machine, then you would probably use http://127.0.0.1/ihris/manage/Demo/.
 
5. You will be prompted to update the site.  Click “OK”.
 
6. When this completes, you'll get another prompt to procede to the site.  Click “OK” again.
