To complete the CWIS installation, we need to gather a few bits of data to allow the software to access the SQL database where the portal data will be stored. It is critical that this information be entered correctly, so please take the time to read the notes accompanying each field to make sure you enter the right values, and consult your system administrator if you're not sure.


Database Host:
This is the name of the computer on which the SQL database server is running. If your web server and your database server are running on the same computer, then you should enter localhost here.


Database User:
Database Password:
This is the user account name and password that are needed to connect to your database server. Please note that this is a database server user name and password, which must have already been set up by your database administrator, not your Unix (or Linux) login name and password.

If the database named below does not already exist, this database user account must have CREATE privileges. If the database does exist, it must not already contain tables or data.



Database Name:
This is the name of the SQL database (the internal database name that you yourself choose, like PortalData or OurDB, not the name of the database software package) that we will use to store CWIS information.

Please Note: If this database already exists, it must not already contain tables or data.


Administrator Login:
Administrator Password:
Administrator E-Mail Address:
This is the user name and password that you will initially use to log into and configure your portal, and the e-mail address where any administrative e-mail will be sent. The password must be at least six characters long. Please write your login and password down right now, as there is no way to retrieve them if they are lost.
