The minimal requirements for running CMS are a web server (examples: Tomcat, Jetty, Apache, WebSphere) and a database supported by Tiny Marbles.

Preparing the environment

CMS's database is pre-configured on MySQL, on the localhost on MySQL default port (3306). The default Schema name is cms and the user and password are both cms.

If you choose to keep the default configuration, than you've to create this schema and user inside your local MySQL instance.

hibernate.connection.username=cms
hibernate.connection.password=cms
