2. Database

• Import the previously downloaded database script ( database module in svn ) into your installed MySQL server

• Create an user "kinton" with password "s0ng0ku" with all privileges in the database created with name "kinton".

3. Projects configuration

• For the client:

• Msfonts intallation in Linux

     Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

     Fedora:

wget http://www.my-guides.net/en/images/stories/fedora10/msttcore-fonts-2.0-2.noarch.rpm
su -c 'rpm -ivh msttcore-fonts-2.0-2.noarch.rpm

   Locale installation:

     (You need to add a new folder on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.1.0\frameworks\locale  folder with the name ca_ES)

    On client-config.xml (on dev folder) you can define where the abicloud_server will be (default on localhost:8080).

• abicloud_server installation

    Define the database connection on <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">abi.config</span></span>.xml file

<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
   			jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/kinton
</property>

     Define the abicloud_WS destination

<entry key="destination">http://localhost:8080/abicloud_WS/</entry>

• abiCloud WS installation
