When you create or open a server project, you are telling Website-Manager where to create the project tables. You must establish a named database before you can create a new server project.

For MySQL this means logging into the MySQL server and running the command create database <projectName>. If you are unsure on how to do this, you will probably be more suited to using a file-based project instead.

Database Driver

Website-Manager can support many different database schemas but initially only supports MySQL.

Connection Parameters

These are the parameters needed to connect to the database server. If you are unsure of these, consult with your network administrator.

Database Name

Type the name of the database in which the project is stored. This is the same name used in the create database command.

User Name

Type your user name that you use to gain access to the database. This is typically the same information you use to log into the server, but can be different. If you are unsure, consult your network administrator for your login.

Password

Type the password for your user name here.

Host/Server Name

Type the host name, server name, or IP address of the server that is hosting your database. For databases hosted on your local machine, type the loopback address 127.0.0.1 or localhost into this field. For database servers located over the Internet, use the domain name of the server. For example, www.mydomain.com.

Port

Usually leave this field blank. If you network administrator has set the database server to a different port, type that port number into this field.

Test Connection

You must click the Test Connection button after you enter your server settings. If the connection tests ok, the OK button is enabled and you can click OK to finish.
