5. In the Add Host page, for Host, enter the IP address or domain
name of the machine hosting the database.
1 If the database is hosted by the same computer as your server
software, enter the same IP address or domain name of your server.
1 If the database is hosted by a different computer, enter the IP
address or domain name of that machine.
Tip If the database is shared from the same computer as the web
server software, you may enter localhost as the domain name.
6. For Port, enter the port number used by the Web Companion on
the RAIC node machine, then click Next.
Important If your web server machine is functioning as a node of the
RAIC, this will likely be port 591 for this machine, as most web
servers use port 80 as their default port. For all RAIC nodes, make
sure the port number matches that of the RAIC node machine.
Otherwise, the Web Server Connector cannot serve your database.
7. Enable the Serve Database checkbox to the right of each database
you want to serve.
