Downloading the Software
To download the software you enter these commands: <source lang="bash"> sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.19 cd /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.19 sudo wget http://launchpad.net/i2ce/4.0/4.0.19/+download/ihris-suite-4.0.19.tar.bz2 sudo tar -xjf ihris-suite-4.0.19.tar.bz2 </source>
Downloading the Ghana Sites Customizations

National (Central) Site setup
Database Setup
To create the needed database you can do: <source lang="bash"> mysql -u root -p </source> Enter the password you set above (XXXXX) for MySQL. You will now be able to send commands to MySQL and the prompt should always begin with 'mysql> '. Type these commands: <source lang="mysql"> CREATE DATABASE ghana_ihris_manage_national; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ghana_ihris_manage_national.* TO ihris_ghana@localhost identified by 'PASS'; SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1; exit </source> Substitute PASS with something appropriate. We'll refer to this password as YYYYY.
If you are having trouble creating routines see this. For security, make sure the password you choose is different than the root password for MySQL. Let us refer to this password as YYYYY.
Setting the Password
Now we need to set the password PASS in the main configuration file. Run the commands: <source lang="bash"> mkdir -p /var/lib/iHRIS/ghana/4.0/sites/national/pages/local/ cp /var/lib/iHRIS/ghana/4.0/sites/national/pages/config.values.php /var/lib/iHRIS/ghana/4.0/sites/national/pages/local/config.values.php gedit /var/lib/iHRIS/ghana/4.0/sites/national/pages/local/config.values.php </source> and change: <source lang="php"> /**
* the dsn to connect to your databse */
//$i2ce_site_dsn = 'mysql://john:pass@localhost/database' ; </source> to: <source lang="php"> /**
* the dsn to connect to your databse */
$i2ce_site_dsn = 'mysql://ihris_ghana:PASS@localhost/ghana_ihris_manage_national' ; </source> Save and Quit. Here PASS is what you chose above.
Making the Site Available
