Note
When shifting to a different back-end database, the changes won't be applied until
PlanetPress Connect is restarted. Including the Connect services. A full machine restart
is recommended, as this provides the cleanest restart of all the services.

Basic Connection Settings selections:
l
Database vendor: Select the database type from the drop down list.
Note
Moving from one vendor database to another will reset all screen selections to
defaults, regardless of what may have been previously selected.

settings.
Tip
If the Test Connection button shows that the database cannot be
successfully connected to using the selected settings, then the contents of this
field could be used to try to connect to the database outside of PlanetPress
Connect. This should help in determining and refining the acceptable
connection options.
