  • With Gestinux 1.6, select in the field Protocol : MySQL 5-8 & MariaDB 5-10 or PostgreSQL 9.
  • Enter in the field Host the name or IP address of your database server. If you have only one computer, the server name should be localhost. Otherwise, enter it's network name or IP address (e.g hobbit or 192.168.0.1).

  • You can enter the database name or list existing databases and select one, using the button Tgeditbutton search.png on the left of the field.

    • With Gestinux 1.5, if the database doesn't exist, you will be prompted to confirm it's creation.
    • With Gestinux 1.6, the database must exists. You create it with a click on the button Tgeditbutton search.png displaying the list, then on the button BtnAdd.gif below the list of existing databases.

If the database already exists, but was created by a previous version of Gestinux, or if you check the box "Check structure", it will be upgraded (after confirmation).

For creation or upgrade, you will need to have enough rights on the database server. With Gestinux 1.6, it is possible to improve security by creating users having access to only one database and having to right to list them, and of course to create new database.

You will then be prompted to save the parameters. Several set of parameters can be created to manage several companies or organizations on the same server.

The button Save store the parameters on your computer with a name that you will be able to select later.

The button Delete remove the current parameters, do not drop the database itself.
