Trying out GNUe Application Server ================================== If you want to try gnue-appserver, first make sure you have followed the installation instructions you can find in the file "INSTALL". Creating the database --------------------- Before you can start gnue-appserver, you have to create a database and fill it with some basic information. For Interbase, MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Sybase, there are subdirectories containing a SQL script called "full.sql". On your database server, create a user "gnue", a database "gnue" where the user "gnue" has full access, and run the correct "full.sql" script against that database. For PostgreSQL and MySQL, there are the shell scripts "setup-pgsql.sh" and "setup-mysql.sh" respectively, that do exactly that. Contributed shell scripts for other databases are highly appreciated. Running the Application Server ------------------------------ If you have installed gnue-appserver and set up the database correctly, you should be able to run "gnue-appserver" from the command line prompt. If you have problems, you might want to try "gnue-appserver -Z --debug-level 9" to get debugging information. As soon as gnue-appserver runs, you can try to connect it. If you have gnue-forms installed, you can try running the "sample.gfd" form. Basically, you can do this by changing into the "samples" directory and typing "gnue-forms sample.gfd". Please refer to gnue-forms's documentation for more details.
