What does this mean?

I am in the middle of the instructions on installing greyhole manually on Amahi 7. So far so good... but in the instructions is now says:

Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
Change db_user and db_password to greyhole.

How do I change the db_user and db_password? It does not say how to do this...

Thank you!

You change them in the file listed by editing that file.

...And therein lies the problem. I do not know how to edit files in Linux (Fedora). Trying to learn quickly, but I'm coming from being a total Windows guy. How do I edit files from the command prompt? (Or is there a better/easier way to do so?

If you have no linux experience, you are in for a rough ride. There are a lot of things you will need to learn. Best way is by using the internet and just experimenting. Linux is not quite as GUI friendly as Windows.

Use can use nano or vi editors. There is a lot of guidance in the wiki and on the internet for how to edit files.

Code: Select all

nano /etc/greyhole.conf

We hope to have this automated soon. It's in the works, but the UI is taking longer than expected.

[rapp]

[root@localhost ~]# nano /etc/greyhole.conf
bash: nano: command not found...

Ok, then do this first as root user:

Code: Select all

yum install nano
