New Install--DB connection

[thomhehl]

There is nothing in the installation guide about connecting to a DB. I just downloaded 4.22, but I've not told it which JDBC driver to use, nor IP address for DB server or other connection info. Where does this go?

[jwenting]

there's a lot in the configuration guide about that.
Basically you have to provide a (or more if you have multiple databases) xxx-ds.xml files in the deploy directory, and associated jar files for the drivers in the lib directory of the server (xxx/server/default/lib and xxx/server/default/deploy for example).

See also the wiki for detailed examples for many common (and not so common) database engines.
