Database Env Setup

⚠️

[NOTE] You've selected the Redis driver for one or more options, please provide valid connection information below. In most cases you can use the defaults provided unless you have modified your setup.

Redis Host [127.0.0.1]:
 > 127.0.0.1

By default a Redis server instance has no password as it is running locally and inaccessible to the outside world. If this is the case, simply hit enter without entering a value.

Redis Password:
 >
Redis Port [6379]:
 > 6379
⚠️

[NOTE] It is highly recommended to not use "localhost" as your database host as we have seen frequent socket connection issues. If you want to use a local connection you should be using "127.0.0.1".

Database Host [127.0.0.1]:
 > IP for you database server
💡

Please reference your database management systems for specific port requirements.

Database Port [3306]:
 > 3306
Database Name [panel]:
 > panel
⚠️

[NOTE] Using the "root" account for MySQL connections is not only highly frowned upon, it is also not allowed by this application. You'll need to have created a MySQL user for this software.
