Talk:KDE/KDEPIM-4.7 upgrade

I have an 'external' mysql server installed and so, I don't know how to deal with an 'internal' settings for the akonadi server. Backup your ~/.kde4 directory befor you'll start.

1. log into the mysql server as root

$ mysql -u root -p

password: 

2. Create a database for the akonadi server

mysql>CREATE DATABASE akonadi;

3. Create an akonadi user and grant him all the privileges on the akonadi database

mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON akonadi.* TO 'akonadiuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '';

4. It's time now to renew privileges database

mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5. Log off the mysql server

mysql>\q

6. Start the Akonadi Server Configuration dialog by hitting ALT+F2 and typing 'akonadi server' in an input box appeared.

7. In the Akonadi Server Configuration dialog

- choose 'Mysql' as the Database driver - do not check the 'Use internal MySQL server' checkbox - set the 'Database name' as 'akonadi' - set the 'Host' as 'localhost' - set the 'Username' as 'akonadiuser' - set the 'Password' to that you remember

8. Hit the 'Start' button then check for errors by pressing the 'Test' button. Correct all the errors befor you go to next step. Press 'OK' button to close the dialog window.

9. Hit ALT+F2 and type 'kmail-migrator --interactive'. Push keyboard 'Enter' key to run the script.

10. Run the kmail2. Do not start the migration process again, just cancel it. Follow the configure kmail dialog.

My configuration had worked bad (but it had worked!) till I've enabled the nepomuk service for desktop.
