# Setup the Database

```
$ vi /etc/my.cnf
```

Replace the *entire contents* of the file with the following lines:

```
[mysqld]
# General settings
default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
max_connections = 1200
default-time-zone='+00:00'
wait_timeout=31536000
secure-file-priv = ""
skip-log-bin
# Password settings
validate_password.check_user_name =  ON
validate_password.length = 6
validate_password.mixed_case_count = 0
validate_password.number_count = 0
validate_password.policy = LOW
validate_password.special_char_count = 0
#
# include all files from the config directory
#
!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d
```

Save and exit with :x 

Restart the MySQL server:

```
$ systemctl restart mysqld
```

Download the database setup scripts from one of the MFT bootstrap nodes:

```
$ wget http://bnd001.miftycoin.com/api/dump?clearexcludes=true -O dump.sql
$ wget http://bnd001.miftycoin.com/api/schema -O schema.sql
```

Run the MySQL client as "root":

```
$ mysql -u root -p
```

Enter the following commands:

```
create database MFTDB;
create user mftserv@localhost identified by 'mftdb2k';
grant all privileges on MFTDB.* to mftserv@localhost with grant option;
use MFTDB;
source dump.sql;
source schema.sql;

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://miftycoin.gitbook.io/miftycoin-broker-node-configuration/setup/setup-the-database.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
