Installing JIra core and confluence on Azure using MySql db.

[Kenneth Knight]

need to link the db to jira to complete the install.  Cannot figure out how to connect db to jira instance.  

[Shankar Asam {Appfire}]

In order for JIRA to connect any database, you will need the following (in this case MySQL);

MySQL host name or IP?

Port number?

DB name?

DB password?

Make sure the port is accessible from application server via firewalls. You will also need JDBC drivers for MySQL in order to connect. Download them and deploy under <JIRA-install>/lib folder
