l
Database URL: This is a read-only summation of the current database connection
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.
l
Hostname: Enter the IP Address or alias of the server where database resides.
l
Database Instance Name: Enter an existing Microsoft SQLServer's instance
name.
This option only applies to existing Microsoft SQLServer instances, and not for
MySQL.
l
Port: Enter Port number. The defaults are those which the vendors use by default.
l
Schema: The individual database schema, within the vendor database.
Note
If a previously non-existent schema were chosen here, then a new schema of
that name will be created within the database when the back-end database
swap is applied. The tables within that schema, though, will not be created
until Connect is restarted.
l
Username: Enter the database login username.
Tip
It is considered best practice for this user to have root privileges.
