How to use Mysql or MariaDB instead of Sqlite
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
By default Kanboard use Sqlite to stores its data.
|
|
However it's possible to use Mysql or MariaDB instead of Sqlite.
|
|
|
|
Mysql configuration
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
### Create a database
|
|
|
|
The first step is to create a database on your Mysql server.
|
|
By example, you can do that with the command line mysql client:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE DATABASE kanboard;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create a config file
|
|
|
|
All application constants can be overrided by using a config file at the root of the project.
|
|
The second step is to create a config file named `config.php`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
├── LICENSE
|
|
├── common.php
|
|
├── ....
|
|
├── config.php <== Our config file
|
|
├── ....
|
|
├── index.php
|
|
├── ....
|
|
└── vendor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Define Mysql parameters
|
|
|
|
Copy and paste this config file and replace the values:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
// We choose to use Mysql instead of Sqlite
|
|
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
|
|
|
|
// Mysql parameters
|
|
define('DB_USERNAME', 'REPLACE_ME');
|
|
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'REPLACE_ME');
|
|
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'REPLACE_ME');
|
|
define('DB_NAME', 'kanboard');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: You can also rename the template file `config.default.php` to `config.php`.
