| - | Insert your MySQL database infos like the host (default: localhost) or IP address of the MySQL server, your MySQL username/password and db name. Attention! The setup process can create the phpwcms tables only and NOT the MySQL table itself. If you want to separate phpwcms database tables from other tables inside your database you can define a table prefix. This is not really neccessary because phpwcms table names ever start with "phpwcms_". The prefix makes a table named like "myprefix" + "_" + "phpwcms_". If your MySQL server supports persistent database connection let the correspinding mark checked – this speeds up the db queries. Large providers may disallow this feature. In this case uncheck mark "use persistent db con". | + | Insert your MySQL database infos like the host (default: localhost) or IP address of the MySQL server, your MySQL username/password and db name.

| - | The most important values are "content width" and "preview image". The content width value is important for rendering image lists. It adjusts the image width. That ensures that your content is rendered very well. The preview image value defines maximum width and height of preview images. Remember that preview images will displayed if an image is click zoomable. If this is to large your site visitor may have problems. This often results in big image file sizes too. | + | The most important values are "content width" and "preview image". The content width value is important for rendering image lists.
