Mifos requires Tomcat 6.x. Ubuntu 8.10 installs the tomcat6 package, but as of fall, 2008 the package was buggy. Earlier versions of Ubuntu come with Tomcat 5.5, which Mifos no longer supports. Mifos is also gt;`_ not able to work with the Ubuntu Tomcat package in Ubuntu 9.04. We recommend installing Tomcat 6 from a downloaded tarball, but here is a link about `how how to get the Ubuntu Tomcat package to work on Utuntu 9.04.

  • Create mifos and mifostest databases. Use:
    No Format
    ~$ mysql -u root -p
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE mifos;
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE mifostest;
    mysql> show databases;
    +--------------------+
    | Database           |
    +--------------------+
    | information_schema | 
    | mifos              | 
    | mifostest          |
    
    | mysql              | 
    +--------------------+
    
  • Grant permissions to user 'mifos' (doing these grants more than once has no effect). If you choose a different user name and password, adjust these instructions accordingly:
    No Format
    mysql> GRANT ALL on mifos.* to 'mifos'@'localhost' identified by 'mifos';
    mysql> GRANT ALL on mifostest.* to 'mifos'@'localhost' identified by 'mifos';
    mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    
  • test database connection as user 'mifos'
    No Format
    mysql -u mifos -pmifos mifos
    ...repeat for other databases
