Specify your MySQL host, user name and password
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 mod-
ify 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 accord-
ingly.
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 n) 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.
