Sharing a database

[acki]

Hello,

is there a way to share a database;
eg to save the database on a shared harddisk so different people can access it from their computer?

Thanks

The best way to share a database is to use an external database like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
But you could put the database file on a network share, too. Use "griffith --home <path to the network share>" when
you start griffith with a shared configuration.

hello
I had configure my database with mysql. It's works on the local network but i can't access with another computer.
I try server : localhost or 192.168.1.2 (ip server) but it said :Connexion à la base de données impossible.
Sorry for my english !!!
Thanks

I'm not a professional mysql user but mostly there are two problems:
1. the server listens only on the localhost ip address (127.0.0.1)
2. the firewall denies access to the mysql port

To solve this try to change the MySQL configuration file my.conf and set the bind-adress to the IP address of your
pc (I think it should be 192.168.1.2). Restart the MySQL server.
To solve the second problem you have to add a firewall rule to open the MySQL port for other pcs in your network.
