(1) Unpack the archive in your Products directory. Archive will unpack in folder mysqlUserFolder/ (2) Create MySQL database (there is a script in sql/ directory). Note that you should create non transactional tables (this should be the default). MySQLUserFolder uses locking, and doesn't expect transactional support. (3) Create a user with a Manager role. Note that script setup_manager.sql in sql/ directory assumes that id of the user and id of the role is 1 - this might not be true. Check the tables. Repeat this for every realm that is going to be used. (4) Instances now can be created: - Initial form will ask for default properties. - After the instance is created, check Parameters tab and make changes there if you wish so. - Make sure you've read the README - especially "User Interface" section. - Edit the DTML scripts in the mysqlUserFolder. - If you wish, setup access for act_ methods.
