Setting up the correct .SQL file for your MySQL database
If you're going to use
MySQL
as database, there are some pre-configurations you should do before starting up JForum. See the table below:
| MySQL Version | Action to do |
| 4.1.x or newer | *None*. The default mysql.sql file is already configured for the latest MySQL versions |
| 4.0.x | *Delete* the file WEB-INF/config/database/mysql.sql and rename the file mysql_40.sql to mysql.sql |
| 3.x | *Delete* the file WEB-INF/config/database/mysql.sql and rename the file mysql_323.sql to mysql.sql |
That's all you have to do. JForum takes care of the rest.
