Installing Mephisto
Follow these steps to get Mephisto up and running like a pro!
Note: We are targeting the Rails 2.0 release series for Mephisto 1.0. Therefore, if you are using gem rails (most hosting environments do),
you will need to freeze edge rails: rake rails:freeze:edge
You can visit the Mephisto install documentation on the site to get the most recent content, however for the impatient, here's the quick setup guide:
- Create a database named mephisto (or one of your choosing).
- Copy config/database.example.yml to config/database.yml
- Edit database.yml and set your database credentials.
- Upload the entire mephisto directory to your webserver.
- Make sure you upload the tzinfo gem (see above) with the directory, or that your host has it preinstalled.
- Run rake db:bootstrap from a terminal of some sorts (use rake db:bootstrap RAILS_ENV=production to be sure you’ve bootstrapped the production database.)
- Login to your administration at http://domain.com/admin with the username: admin and password: test
