Installing Mephisto
Follow these steps to get Mephisto up and running like a pro!
Note: Mephisto requires a specific version
of Rails, specified in config/environment.rb. If this version
isn't installed on your hosting service, 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.
- 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
