[Cod-bugs] COD - setting up mysql database for a local COD copy

[Pavol Juhas]

Dear Saulius,

I hope all is well, we met a while ago at a software demo
session at the IUCr meeting in Montreal.

I am trying to setup a copy of the COD database on my
iMac desktop with a local mysql server.  I have downloaded
the CIF files from the cod-cifs-mysql.tgz tarball and then updated
them with the rsync command as described at
http://wiki.crystallography.net/howtoobtaincod.
The files seem to include a database dump in
mysql/data.txt file, but I am a bit at loss how to
use it to run a mysql server instance.  I was
not able to find instructions at the COD wiki or
within the COD file tree.

Would you have any pointers on how to setup a
duplicate mysql server instance for a COD database?

My apologies if I missed such instructions within the COD
webpage or wiki.

Thank you very much,

Pavol
