set setup(database_host) IP_ADDRESS_OF_SERVER
This is the internal network IP address of the server, eg: 192.168.0.1

set setup(database_server) "mysql"
This is the database server type, currently this is always set to "mysql".

set setup(database_name) "fastbase"
Enter the database name here. When FastBase is started this will be the default database. If you have additional databases you can append the database name on the shortcut to access fastbase (ie: first parameter on the command line).

set setup(database_type) "fastbase"
This option is used to determine the overriding database name, this is unused for most systems. Leave this option out, the default will be the database_name.

set setup(mysql_user) "fbase"
set setup(mysql_password) ""
This is the mysql user name and password to connect to the mysql database with.
By default FastBase connects with user "fbase" and no password. On some systems a password may be required, you will need to set this in the mysql database then also add these configuration options to your setup.dat script. This is known to apply to mysql 4.x on some systems.
