Gold Coast E-Sports Competition App 2

Prerequisites

Ensure that Java JDK 17 is installed on your system:

  • Windows: Download and install Java JDK 17.
  • Linux: Install Java JDK 17 using your package manager:
    sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk   # For Debian-based systems

Set Up MySQL Server

  • Windows:

    1. Download the MySQL installer from the MySQL Community Downloads page.
    2. Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
    3. During installation, you can choose to run the MySQL Server as a Windows service. Otherwise you can start it manually from the Services app or by running:
    net start mysql
  • Linux:
    Download the package and run the service:

    sudo apt-get install mysql-server  # For Debian-based systems
    sudo systemctl start mysql
    sudo systemctl status mysql   # Check if the service is running

Import the Database

Once the SQL server is running, you can import the gc_esports.sql file to set up the database. Replace username (default: root) and path/to/gc_esports.sql with your MySQL username and the path to the SQL dump file:

mysql -u username -p < path/to/gc_esports.sql

Configure the db_access.config File

The db_access.config file contains the connection string for the database service. It is currently set to use the default MySQL credentials running on localhost/127.0.0.1. Ensure these settings match your database credentials for proper application functionality.:

dbURL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/gc_esports?serverTimezone=UTC
usrID=root
usrPWD=

Alternative SQL Server Options

You can opt for a web server solution like XAMPP or WAMP for ease of use. These solutions come with tools like phpMyAdmin, providing a GUI for importing and managing databases.
