The only +requirement is the installer must have write permissions the directory where +the database file resides. + +On the "Database configuration" form in the "Database name" field, you must +supply the exact path to where you wish your database file to reside. It is +strongly suggested that you choose a path that is outside of the webroot, yet +ensure that the directory is writeable by the web server. + +If you must place your database file in your webroot, you could try using the +following in your "Database name" field: + + sites/default/files/.ht.sqlite + +Note: The .ht in the name will tell Apache to prevent the database from being +downloaded. Please check that the file is, indeed, protected by your webserver. +If not, please consult the documentation of your webserver on how to protect a +file from downloading. + +USERNAME, PASSWORD, and ADVANCED OPTIONS +---------------------------------------- +No username, password, or advanced options are necessary and should not be used. -- GitLab
