Database Connection

{formlabel label="Database type" for="db"} {forminput} {if $section eq 'Upgrade'}

If you intend to upgrade an existing MySQL database, the required server version is greater than 4.1.

{/if} {if $dbservers} {html_options name='db' options=$dbservers id=db selected=$gBitDbType class="form-control"} {formhelp note="The type of database you intend to use."} {if $mysqlWarning}

Versions of MySQL less than 4.1 are not supported by some packages due to the lack of subquery support. Notable among these are the Boards and Messages packages. Other packages may also have issues. It is recommended that you use MySQL version 4.1 or higher for the best experience with Bitweaver. It may be possible to use a lower versions of MySQL if you do not install these packages.

You currently have no database installed that works here. If you feel this is wrong, please contact the Bitweaver team.

{/if}

If the database you wish to use is not listed above, the version of PHP on this server does not have support for that database installed or compiled in.

Use 'localhost' if your database is on the same machine as your server.
If you use Oracle, insert your TNS name here.
If you use SQLite, insert the path and filename to your database file.
If you are not sure what to put in here, try using localhost."} {/forminput}

To ensure problem free usage of Bitweaver with other applications in the same database, we highly recommend using a prefix. If you are NOT running MySQL (i.e. Postgres, Oracle, etc.) you can end the prefix string with a '.' (period) to use a schema in systems that support it.
