MySQL server configuration manual for DBConvert

MySQL Server configuration manual

1. First of all you should run MySQL Server, as well as you should have a tool for its administration (database manager). In our example we use phpMyAdmin software. Please take a look at the picture below. It shows how you can add a new user with necessary privileges for DBConvert connection.

2. In the main window of phpMyAdmin you should choose "Privileges" option. After that in the new window "Add user" option appears.

Note: for this example we have created the user dmsoft which will be able to connect to the server from the client machine with any IP address. In this example, the host field has the sign of %, it means that this user can enter from any IP address. You can specify a definite IP for PC where DBConvert installed and that used for connection.

3. After that in the new window "Add user" option appears. Click it and adjust new user’s privileges according to the screenshot below.

If you want to edit connection parameters and privileges for the existing user, click shown on the second screenshot.
