21Documentation :
22---------------
23
24pykota.sqlite :
25
26    This file can be used to create an empty SQLite3 database
27    for use with PyKota, in the case you don't want to use
28    either PostgreSQL, MySQL, or LDAP :
29
30    NB : an SQLite3 database can't be shared between several
31    PyKota managed print servers, contrarily to the other
32    database backends.
33
34    HowTo :
35
36      - Install SQLite v3.2.1 or higher, and its development files,
37        for example on my Debian box :
38
39                # apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
40
41        You can also download SQLite from http://www.sqlite.org
42
43      - Download and install PySQLite v2.0.5 or higher from :
44
45                http://www.pysqlite.org
46
47        Install it this way :
48
49                # tar -zxf pysqlite-2.0.5.tar.gz
50                # cd pysqlite-2.0.5
51                # python setup.py install
52
53        Under Debian, if the package exists for your version of Debian,
54        simply do :
55
56                # apt-get install python-pysqlite2
57
58      - Create an SQLite3 database for PyKota :
59
60                # sqlite3 ~pykota/pykota.db <pykota.sqlite
61                # chown pykota.pykota ~pykota/pykota.db
62                # chmod 660 ~pykota/pykota.db
63                # chown pykota.pykota ~pykota       (seems to be necessary)
64
65        NB : adapt the permissions so that the user your printing
66             system runs as (e.g. user 'lp') can read and write
67             to the /etc/pykota/pykota.db file.
68
69      - In ~pykota/pykotadmin.conf, just comment out all the lines
70
71      - In ~pykota/pykota.conf, ensure that the following lines
72        are present and unique inside the [global] section :
73
74                storagebackend : sqlitestorage
75                storagename : /etc/pykota/pykota.db
76
77        And comment out all other directives which name begins with 'storage'.
78        NB : feel free to use a different path to store pykota.db, and
79             adapt your configuration files and permissions accordingly.
80
81Your PyKota setup is now ready to be used with an SQLite3 database.
82
83IMPORTANT : with PyKota's SQLite backend there's no possibility to separate
84readonly accesses from readwrite accesses for now, so don't set your
85permissions too loosely if untrusted users have local shell access on
86your print server.
