Configure

Before you officially use JFORUM, you need to do some simple configuration, let's take a step in steps to describe these steps.

First, you need to have a fully installed MySQL or PostgreSQL database system, and the installation configuration of the database is not discussed here.

The WEB-INF / CONFIG / DATABASE / / .properties file, is the name of the database system you want to use, such as Mysql, PostgreSQL.

In this profile, you are mainly modified, Database.Connection.username, Database.Connection.Password two, they are the username and password of the database.

Other options If you don't know, you will not need to modify it, keep the default system can run well.

Then, create the database in the database, directly using the _db_struct.sql in the web-inf / config / data / directory. (JForum default database name is JForum, so you need to build a library of such a name in advance)

Run the _data_dump.sql in the "DBNAME> directory" directory, the information in the initialization table.

Configuring Tomcat (PS: Actually, you can choose any other J2EE server, just this example is Tomcat) This is nothing to say, and you configure other Java Web projects.
