Using IDM 8.0 - part 1 - Starting and Stopping MySQL and Tomcat

• Starting MySQL
  

root@identity-manager-80:~# cd /opt/mysql-5.1.31
root@identity-manager-80:/opt/mysql-5.1.31# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
090227 15:22:19 mysqld_safe Logging to '/opt/mysql-5.1.31/data/identity-manager-80.err'.
090227 15:22:19 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/mysql-5.1.31/data

Comment(s) :

1. It seems not possible to start mysql
   with /opt/mysql-5.1.31/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
   a cd is necessary in /opt/mysql-5.1.31
   or maybe using a environment variable ?

• Starting Identity Manager(Tomcat)
  

-Edit catalina.sh and and define the JAVA_HOME environment variable or define the variable into your environment.
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/latest

Identity Manager does not work at all(of course !)

*configurator/configurator*---renamed to config
config/secret---don't use it
*administrator/administrator*---renamed to admin
admin/secret---don't use it

users to be used(for security reason)
myconfig/password
myadmin/password

Two new users were created. myconfig and myadmin and the original configurator and administrator were renamed to config and admin. The password of config and admin were changed.
