Connect to your database

Before getting started, we need some information about the database that Nova will use. You'll need to have the following items available before proceeding:

  • The database name
  • The database username
  • The database password
  • The database host
  • The table prefix you want to use

These items would have been supplied to you by your web host when you signed up. If you don't this information, you'll need to contact your web host before you can continue.

If for any reason this automatic file creation doesn't work, don't worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You can also open nova/modules/assets/database/db.mysqli.php, copy its contents and paste them into a new file called database.php in the application/config directory if you'd rather not use this wizard.
