Setting up an election:
0. vote/include/election-sql.php expects a secret config file that exists
only on the server and is included as PHP code. It's hard coded currently
to: /home/admin/secret/anonvoting currently.

The file should look something like this:
<?php
$mysql_host = "localhost";
$mysql_user = "someuser";
$mysql_password = "somepassword";
$mysql_db = "somedb";
?>
1. When I deploy, I create an account for the election, as the mysql root user:
mysql -u root -p
Password: <MYSQLROOTPW>
mysql> CREATE USER 'someusername' identified by 'somepassword';
mysql> CREATE DATABASE somedbname;
2013-12-18 20:43:58 +00:00
mysql> quit
msyql -u root -p -D somedbname < ..../vote/include/schema.sql
mysql -u root -p
Password: <MYSQLROOTPW>
mysql> GRANT SELECT on somedb.elections TO someuser@localhost;
