WebSwf use a MySQL database for data persistence. Assuming that the server is already running, you must create a database and optionally a user to whom give access privileges to the database.

Using administation privileges, (in this example, root), create the database webswfdb (or choose another name) with the command mysqladmin -u root -p create webswfdb. If you wish to create a user, please refer to MySQLS manual, we assume here that you are using the root account used when creating the database in the previous step.

Now you should create the tables and the admin user. In the folder setup you can find the file schema.sql, to set uo tables and admin user, insert the command mysql -u root -p webswfdb < /www/html/webswf/setup/schema.sql.
