  Creating project in  /Users/johan/codysites/
  
  
  
  1) Enter projectname: firstApp
  Note: also using firstApp as database name.
  
  Note: by default the mysql root user has no password so you can just hit enter, if you forgot the root password http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
  
  2) Enter root password for mysql so we can create a new database and user: xxxxx
  
  3) Enter site database user: firstUser
  
  4) Enter site database password: firstPW
  
  5) Enter hostname for site: first
  
  6) Enter a location for storing documents: /usr/local/data/first
    [ windows users could use something like C:\documents\first ]
    [ *nix users without write permission in /usr/local for example: /home/billgates/cody/data ]

Installing from source [outdated - use git clone]

- unpack zip

# download the zipfile from our homepage containing our latest release
unzip cody.zip
cd cody

substitute the name of your project/website for "mysite" in the rest of the page.

- create database + load initial content 

#
# create a database and user for your wesite (feel free to use a different user)
#
mysql -e "create database mysite default charset utf8"
mysql -e "grant all on mysite.* to 'cody'@'%' identified by 'ydoc'"
mysql -e "grant all on mysite.* to 'cody'@'localhost' identified by ydoc"
#
# now load all the initial content
#
mysql -u cody -p ydoc mysite < setup.sql

- install node.js

# download the latest version from http://nodejs.org
# follow the instructions

- install needed packages

# in the directory where you installed cody
#  normally the node_modules are present in the release file

npm install express
npm install ejs
npm install mime
npm install mysql
npm install simplesmtp
npm install nodemailer
npm install forever -g

- create a dns name to use

# add to your /etc/hosts (or other) file an entry as below

127.0.0.1       mysite.local

# or create an A or CNAME record for test.mysite.com on the dns server of mysite.com with the IP address of the machine where you are installing the instance of Cody

- startup script parameters + forever start index.js

# personalise and run the startup script: edit index.js
#
# change the database user and password if wanted.

# if you don't have access to your own domain + dns server
# add "local.mysql" to your /etc/hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1

# cody.startWebApp(cody.server, {
#        "name": "mysite",
#        "version": "v1.0a1",
#        "defaultlanguage": "en",
#        "hostnames" : "www.mysite.com,mysite.com,local.mysite",
#        "dbuser": "cody",
#        "dbpassword": "ydoc",
#        "dbhost": "localhost",
#        "datapath": "/usr/local/data/mysite",
#        "db": mysite,
#        "controllers": require("./mysite/controllers/")
#    }, ...);

forever start index.js

In the users table of the created database / cms, we've created 3 users: rsuper, radmin and rtest, each with the password "ydoc", you can use these to create new users and to test the different user levels.
