steps to get jester joke recommender running on local machine (including db)
on rieff:
- copy /var/www/html/jester4and5 to the local machine
- do a sql dump and copy that file to local machine:
mysqldump -u root -p jester4and5 > jester4and5-2014-20-may.dbdump
on local machine:
- install php, at least version 5
cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini- install mysql server
- start mysqlserver. On my Mac, the command is:
mysql.server start - create the database called 'jester4and5':
mysql -u root -pCREATE DATABASE jester4and5; quit;mysql -u root -p jester4and5 < jester4and5-2014-20-may.dbdump
- modify the includes/constants.php to have the correct mysql server username and password
- install PEAR as a PHP package manager
