If you are not comfortable working with database access, we strongly recommend that you ask your IT supplier or agency to do it for you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a returning Client, you may already have a Dental Media user for you Al Dente database. If you do, you can skip the steps of setting up the user and start the guide at step 3.
rolling out on an Al Dente installation reqires the following main steps:
1. Create a Dental Media user in the Al Dente database
2. Grant privileges to that user
3. Install our software
Steps 1 and 2 are done through mysql command line interface.
You will need a Root password and the Username and database password from Dental Media.
Please contact your Deployment manager to receive these via safe means.
Step 1:
To create a database user you must
open the
command line interface by activating the Start Menu, and typing “cmd.exe”.
A
command line interface will then pop up.
Then navigate to the aldentesystem folder,
to /mysql/bin, and then input the following command to log into mysql as the root
user (replacing ROOTPASSWORD with the root password provided by Dental Media):
mysql -u root
Then input this command to create the user (replacing USER and DMPASSWORD with the username and password provided by Dental Media):
CREATE USER 'USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY ‘DMPASSWORD’;
Step 2:
After that, input this command to enable the user to read the database:
GRANT SELECT ON aldente.* TO USER@'localhost';
You can then close the command line interface, and proceed to install Dental Media
Bridge.
Step 3:
Download following installer .zip file onto the harddrive: http://api.dentalmedia.dk/dm261.zip
Run the downloaded installer.
Select Typical > Al Dente, and then input the user and password
you created above to connect the database.
Then input the install key provided by your Deployment Manager.
Finally, when the installation is complete, run Dental Media Support from the desktop and
restart the service.
And that's it. You should be done.
Now all you need to do is contact your Deployment Manager at Dental Media and inform them all has been setup, so they can double check that everything is running smoothly as expected.
