These steps are required when you convert from a demo/trial

Frevvoproduct
server installation to a production installation.

Tip

While you are demo-ing

Frevvoproduct
you do not need to do the Database Setup steps discussed below.

Your

Frevvoproduct
 server requires an SQL database for storing users and form submissions. The follow SQL databases have been certified:

The

Frevvoproduct
server may function with other SQL database types but only the above set has been certified.

Warning

The default HSQLDB is ONLY sufficient for demo/trial versions of

Frevvoproduct
. All production
Frevvoproduct
users MUST switch their
Frevvoproduct
software to a production quality database.

The following steps describe how to change the underlying database from the demo/trial HSQLDB to a production quality SQL database. The database configuration file frevvo.xml is located in <frevvo-home>/frevvo/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost directory.
