Open the geneious.properties file and scroll down to ##database configuration , and enter the details for database-host (the host running the database server), database-dbname (the database name) and database-type (one of ”MYSQL”, ”POSTGRESQL”, ”SQL_SERVER” or ”ORACLE”). These three fields are required for the connection to work. You must also specify the location of the database-driver if using MySQL; this field is optional with the other database servers. The optional property database-user will be used if provided. Remove the # at the start of these lines for these settings to be used.
