Some notes

Quick notes on how to set up a local development copy of the site:

Make sure you acquire from here, here, or from someone with sufficient access (in case both links are down or too old):

  • a sample database dump (some_database_dump.sql)
  • a set of attachments belonging to this dump (attachments.tar.gz)

Then do approximately this:

git clone git://github.com/spring/spring-website.git
cd spring-website
tar xf attachments.tar.gz
bin/fix_perms.sh   # may want to review the script and/or run it as root
cp springpw_example.php springpw.php
$EDITOR springpw.php   # set mysql user/pass/database

create user 'spring'@'localhost' identified by 'some_pass';
create database spring;
grant all privileges on `spring`.* TO 'spring'@'localhost';
use spring;
source some_database_dump.sql

Quick notes on how to create a new clean database (user/database: spring_clean):

create user 'spring_clean'@'localhost' identified by 'some_pass';
create database spring_clean;
grant all privileges on `spring_clean`.* TO 'spring_clean'@'localhost';
grant select on `spring`.* TO 'spring_clean'@'localhost';
use spring_clean;
source mysql/schema.sql;
source mysql/anonimized-copy.sql;   # this wants to select from database 'spring'

FAQ

mysql: packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

I get an error about a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes when importing a mysql database dump. What should I do?

If you get the error:

ERROR 1153 (08S01) at line 62: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

You should configure mysqld to allow bigger packets by putting the following in /etc/my.cnf:

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=16M

Then restart mysqld and try again. Also add the option --max_allowed_packet=16M to the mysql client. (Increase size if necessary.)
