MySQL or MariaDB

To use a MySQL or MariaDB database you should install and configure the database before installing |RCM|. This is because during |RCM| installation you will setup a connection to your MySQL or MariaDB database. To work with either, use the following steps:

1. Depending on your |os|, install a MySQL or MariaDB database following the appropriate instructions from the MySQL website or MariaDB website.
2. Configure the database with a username and password which you will use with |RCM|.
3. Install |RCM|, and during installation select MySQL as your database.
4. Enter the following information during the database setup:
   • Your network IP Address
   • The port number for MySQL or MariaDB access. The default port for both is 3306
   • Your database username
   • Your database password
   • A new database name
