An overview of the steps involved in launching your first Gantry application with tips and guidance.
Bigtop takes care of building a database for you if you have sqlite in your path. All you need to do is change to the directory where your app was created and start the stand-alone server by running "./app.server".
Should you not use sqlite, or if bigtop cannot find it in your path, change to the directory where bigtop created your app. Create a database called app.db with your preferred database engine, which can then be populated easily. Once this is done, start up the app.server.
For Postgres users, the command looks like this:
cd AppName
createdb app.db -U postgres
psql app.db -U regular_user < docs/schema.postgres
./app.server -d Pg -u regular_user -p password
MySQL users can do this instead:
cd AppName
mysqladmin create app.db -u root -p
mysql -u root -p app.db < docs/schema.mysql
./app.server -d=mysql --u=regular_user -p='secret'
Once your app is up and running, you can view it by pointing your browser to any of the URLs shown by the app.server when it started up. Overall, Gantry::Docs::QuickStart proves to be a helpful tool, especially for those who are new to Gantry applications.
