These steps are required when you convert from a demo/trial server installation to a production installation.

Tip

While you are demo-ing you do not need to do the Database Setup steps discussed below.

Your  server requires an SQL database for storing users and form submissions. The following SQL databases have been certified:

The server may function with other SQL database types but only the above set has been certified.

Warning
  • The default HSQLDB is ONLY sufficient for demo/trial versions of . All production users MUST switch their software to a production quality database.
  • You cannot migrate the data (user, roles, applications) automatically from HSQL to your production database. See this topic for the manual procedure details.

The following steps describe how to change the underlying database from the demo/trial HSQLDB to a production quality SQL database. The database configuration file, server.xml is located in <frevvo-home>/frevvo/tomcat/conf directory.

2) Verify that the user and password required to connect to the frevvo database are correct.
3) Make sure that the user configured in the data sources has permissions to read and write to the frevvo database.

Info

If you are using SQL Server, it is recommended that you append the sendStringParametersAsUnicode property with a value of false to your database connection URL. This property will improve performance. You can find more information about this property on this Microsoft website. If you do not see the property, when configuring the Connection URL to your database, add it.

Code Block
url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=frevvo;sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false"/>

Non Standard Databases

If you are trying a different database type and do not see an example in server.xml for your database, you can create a new data source entry. Hibernate supports the following dialects however  has only been certified to run with a subset of these databases. For additional dialects see Hibernate documentation.

Info

Once you have the driver you need, copy it to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/lib.
