Thank you for contributing to Public Lab.
Also a heads up: if you are installing the plots2 project on your local, maybe consider using sqlite3 for database
. On step 7 choose the second option,
If sqlite3, run
cp config/database.yml.sqlite.example config/database.ymlto make a copy of config/database.yml.sqlite.example in config/database.yml. kindly note if you choose to use sqlite some tests may fail. The project was setup initially to use mysql and some tests are tailored for mysql db. No need for alarm, we are working to fix these and this will not interfere with your development process
As we are having issues reported by folks using mysql2 (read more)
