The mysql component of the OpenVPMS database load is similiar to that documented n the Windows installation instructions you can find here

http://confluence.openvpms.org/confluence/display/IMPLEM/OpenVPMS+Installation+%28Windows%29

Modified as follows:

* Open a command prompt. * Navigate to openvpms-release-1.1/db * Start the mysql command line client and enter the following commands

mysql -u root -p mysql> source createdb.sql; mysql> use openvpms; mysql> source db.sql; mysql> quit;

* Navigate to openvpms-release-1.1/bin * To load the database with data suitable for a site converting from an existing system next enter ./dataload.sh base * To load the database with data suitable for a new site enter ./dataload.sh setup

You will need to load the dataload.sh script from the source code repository to the openvpms-release-1.1/bin folder first. This script was not included in the 1.1 release unfortunately but you can find it here:

These scripts will be included in the 1.2 release.

If you need any more assistance please yell.
