Provide the host name of your database server and enter the login and password. If both the web server

and database server (typical installation) are running on the same machine, you can use localhost as

the host and use root as the user name.

During the installation of the MySQL database software a user is created with the name root, with no

password. To modify the password you can use an application like MySQL Administrator afterwards. The

MySQL Administrator is part of the MySQL GUI Tools suite which you can download for free from the

MySQL website: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/

Note: The incDBLink.php file (located in the Functions folder of the PSW Website folder) should

be changed accordingly.

3. Leave all the server connections options set to the default value unless you need to make a specific

change. Click Next to proceed.

When PrintShop Web find a database wich the name psw, the Database Exists page may appear:

This page allows you to use the existing database or to overwrite it. If an older version of the system is

found you will be able to update the database keeping the existing orders, templates, etc. Once the

installation procedure is finished you should check that the companies, templates and other information

in the system has default values set for items like the pricing settings.

Note: When upgrading PrintShop Web we strongly advise to read the Important update notes

(Page 27) chapter and create backups of your current PrintShop Web installation. You can

use the MySQL Administrator tool described before to create a backup of your psw

database.

4. Once the database is created several system defaults need to be set. These settings can be modified

and expanded in PrintShop Web once the first run wizard is completed.
