Database configuration has been removed from the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml file. It is now done in the C:<frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\server.xml file.
When you configure your database, make the changes to the server.xml in the

The frevvo database below must be created with UTF-8 encoding. |
For your selected database type in server.xml:
Set the sharedfrevvoDS data source username and password parameters to a user that has read and write permissions to the frevvo database.
It is recommended practice to use a named user (schema) account with the proper privileges when connecting |
|
Configuration of the connection Url is key to successfully connect the server to your database. Consult your DBA to assist with connection issues.
For your selected database type in server.xml:
1) Set the sharedfrevvoDS data source url parameter to your database server. If and the database server are collocated "localhost" may be fine. The url parameters depend on the database type and installation choices made when your DBA installed your database software. Consult your DBA for the correct connection values. For example, SQL server installed on a non-default port and running on a machine named e00sca will require that you add a port number and host name to the Url. For example:
url="jdbc:sqlserver://e00sca:59377;databaseName=frevvo;" |
As of SQL 2000, Microsoft SQL allows installation of multiple SQL named instances. If your SQL server was installed this way you must use the instance parameter. For example if you database instance was named xyzzy:
url="jdbc:sqlserver://e00sca:59377;databaseName=frevvo;instance=xyzzy" |
2) Verify that the user and password required to connect to the frevvo database are correct.
3) Make sure that the user configured in the data sources has permissions to read and write to the frevvo database.
If you are using SQL Server, it is recommended that you append the sendStringParametersAsUnicode property with a value of false to your database connection URL. This property will improve performance. You can find more information about this property on this Microsoft website. If you do not see the property, when configuring the Connection URL to your database, add it.
|
If you are trying a different database type and do not see an example in server.xml for your database, you can create a new data source entry. Hibernate supports the following dialects however has only been certified to run with a subset of these databases. For additional dialects see Hibernate documentation.
See the certified database list for all the databases officially supported by frevvo. |
The frevvo database must be created with UTF-8 encoding. If you're using a improperly encoded database for sharedfrevvoDS you may run into one or more of the following runtime issues:
|
Setting the encoding depends upon the database you are using. Please consult your database documentation.
These commands will create the proper frevvo utf8 encoded database in mySql:
create database if not exists frevvo default character set "utf8" default collate "utf8_unicode_ci"; |
You can convert a database and/or table to UTF-8 using the MySQL configuration file or the MySQL cmd tool.
Configuration file:
[mysqld] default-character-set=utf8 default-collation=utf8_unicode_cii |
MySQL cmd tool:
ALTER DATABASE frevvo CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `frevvo16089`.`formsubmission` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; |
If you are using SQL Server as your Live Forms database, it is highly recommended that you turn on the READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT setting in the database.
You do not have to do this if you are using MySQL or Oracle databases because the option is turned on by default.
There are two ways to turn on the option:
Using DDL ( Data Definition Language) - Run the commands listed below
ALTER DATABASE <your frevvo database schema> - replace <your frevvo database schema> with the name of your frevvo database schema SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON |
database relies on the JDBC API. See the list of certified databases. If you choose a database that's not in this list you do so at your own risk.
You MUST use a JDBC4 type driver. |
The download package comes with pre-installed drivers. For example:
the SQL Server JDBC Driver - this driver (mssql-jdbc-6.1.0.jre8.jar ) is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle in the <frevvo-home>\frevvo\tomcat\lib directory.
At this time, frevvo only supports the v6.1.0.jre8 version of the SQL Server JDBC driver. This version of the driver is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle. v6.2+ of the driver may cause an issue with downloading larger attachment files from the |
If you don't find what you need pre-installed you will need to locate a driver compatible to your database. Usually you can download your driver from the internet. Try one of these locations
Oracle
|
Once you have the driver you need, copy it to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/lib.
The <frevvo-home>\tomcat\logs\frevvo.log file will report an error if you do not copy the JDBC driver to lib directory. The verbiage may differ depending on the driver and database. For example, the error for MySQL is "Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver". Starting without the correct jdbc driver displays an HTTP 404 error. Copying the correct jdbc driver to the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/lib directory should resolve the issue.
It is also appropriate to copy the driver into any location that is in the CLASSPATH of your tomcat installation. Another location would be <CATALINA_HOME>/lib.
The bundle includes an HSQL embedded database. If you use the HSQL database during your trial period, you cannot migrate the data (user, roles, applications) automatically from HSQL to your production database. Once your production database is in place, you must manually:
