h1. Database Server Setup to allow connection from the instruments

You need to do is even if you have used autoinstaller  so that computers controlling the instruments (microscope/camera) can connect to the database

h2. Bind mysqld to its IP address to allow tcp connection to it.

h3. Edit /etc/my.cnf search for *skip-networking* and make sure it is commented out like this:

<pre>

#skip-networking

</pre>

Add the address the database is bound to after that line

<pre>

#skip-networking

bind-address=your.ip.address.number

</pre>

for example, 192.168.0.1 in a local network

h3. Restart mysqld

For CentOS, Fedora

<pre>

sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

</pre>

or

<pre>

sudo /sbin/service mysqld restart

</pre>

h3. 10 Create remote user

Create and grant privileges to the usr_object for the databases on the hosts involved.  See MySQL Reference Manual for details.

You can set hosts on a particular subnet by only specify the network number portion such as '192.168' and use wild card for the host number portion to give '192.168.%.%' as the global host allowing connection.

If appropriate, you can also use domaian name with wild care i.e., '%.mydomain.edu'

At the mysql prompt execute the following commands:

<pre>

CREATE USER usr_object@'192.168.%.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR PASSWORD';

GRANT ALTER, CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE ON leginondb.* TO usr_object@'192.168.%.%';

GRANT ALTER, CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE ON projectdb.* TO usr_object@'192.168.%.%';

</pre>

h3. Change localhost database user to usr_object if autoinstaller was used.

Autoinstaller does not create usr_object user on the localhost but use root user for database connection.   You may want to make change at this time.

At the mysql prompt execute the following commands:

<pre>

CREATE USER usr_object@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR PASSWORD';

GRANT ALTER, CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE ON leginondb.* TO usr_object@'localhost';

GRANT ALTER, CREATE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE ON projectdb.* TO usr_object@'localhost';

</pre>
