Installing / Updating Connect using an existing MySQL instance
If MySQL Server is already present and you wish to use it, the following should be taken into
consideration:
l The minimum supported MySQL version is MySQL5.6.
l The MySQL account must have access to all permissions using the GRANT Command,
including creating databases.
l The database configuration must include the options detailed in the "Using the MySQL
Instance from the Installer" on the previous page topic above.
l The database configuration must allow the use of mixed case table names.
This is particularly an issue on Linux MySQLinstallations.
l The SQL instance must be open to access from other computers. This means the bind-
address option should not be set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Warning
If you chose not to install the supplied MySQL database, and instead opt for using a pre-
existing (External) database then you yourself must ensure that the External database is
accessible to Connect.
Objectif Lune Inc. will take no responsibility for setting up database connections to any
but the supplied MySQL database.
Options available within the installer:
l The Configuration page for the local MySQL is displayed.
l MySQL settings are pre-filled with default values if no existing MySQL database
configuration is found.
l MySQL settings are pre-filled with existing database configuration settings, if they point to
a MySQL database type.
