+Installing Tracks 1.7 on "OpenSolaris 2009.06":http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/downloads using the MySQL 5.0 database in 10 steps
+
+All the commands described in this document are to be executed by a user with the Primary Administrator role (The user created when installing OpenSolaris is granted this role automatically).
+ 
+
+h2. Step 1 - Download the Tracks 1.7 zip file, unzip it in your preferred location and change to that directory.
+
+
+This document is written assuming the Tracks software is installed in /opt
+<code>
+$ cd /opt
+$ pfexec unzip tracks-current.zip
+$ cd tracks-1.7
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 2 - Configure the OpenSolaris publisher repositories needed to install the MySQL Ruby Gem package 
+
+
+OpenSolaris 2009.06 is delivered with Ruby 1.8.7, which contains Ruby and RubyGems, but rather than recompiling ourselves the MySQL Ruby Gem it's easier to simply install it directly from the OpenSolaris Contrib repository.
+
+So we will need to add this repository to the list of available publishers of packages:
+
+
+<code>
+$ pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib Contrib
+</code>
+
+
+Now we can simply install the ruby-mysql package
+
+
+
+h2. Step 3 - Install ruby-mysql from the OpenSolaris contrib repository
+
+
+<code>
+$ pfexec pkg install ruby-mysql
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 4 - Install, Start and Configure MySQL 5.0
+
+Install MySQL 5.0:
+<code>
+$ pfexec pkg install SUNWmysql5
+</code>
+
+
+Start MySQL 5.0:
+<code>
+$ pfexec svcadm enable mysql
+</code>
+
+
+Creating a new user account:
+<code>
+$ /usr/mysql/5.0/bin/mysql -u root
+mysql> CREATE DATABASE tracks17;
+mysql> GRANT ALL ON tracks17.* TO 'mysql'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysql';
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 5 - Workaround a known Ruby bug (present amongst others in OpenSolaris and BSD)
+
+Edit the file /opt/tracks-1.7/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/inflector.rb
+Go to line 275, and add a "rescue" statement so that part of the code reads:
+
+
+<code>
+def transliterate(string)
+Iconv.iconv('ascii//ignore//translit', 'utf-8', string).to_s
+rescue
+end
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 6 - Install Rake
+
+<code>
+$ pfexec gem install rake
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 7 - Configure the Tracks database section
+
+Open file /opt/tracks-1.7/config/database.yml and edit the production section to look like:
+<code>
+production:
+adapter: mysql
+host: localhost
+username: mysql
+password: mysql
+database: tracks17
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 8 - Configure the Tracks site section
+
+Open file /opt/tracks-1.7/config/site.yml
+
+Change the line saying salt: "change-me" to a string of your choice.
+Change the line saying time_zone: "UTC" to your time zone. 
+
+You can use the command
+<code>
+$ /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home/bin/rake time:zones:local 
+</code>
+
+to see all available timezones on your machine and test that your Ruby installation is working as intended.
+If it doesn't, chances are you missed Step 5.
+
+
+h2. Step 9 - Populate your database with the Tracks 1.7 schema
+
+<code>
+$ pfexec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+</code>
+
+
+
+h2. Step 10 - Start the application
+
+<code>
+$ pfexec script/server -e production
+</code>
+
+
+Now point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 check that the application is working and create an admin user for Tracks.
+
+
+
+h2. Note: To ensure the Tracks application starts automatically at boot time, save the following startup script as /etc/rc3.d/S99tracks
