Create a new database

Old Versions
#1

How do I create a new database just to maintain inventory information?

During installation i chose database type as test. Now I am stuck with what is already present.

How do I start fresh? Are there any videos which show how to start things up.

I have completed installation and don't know what to do next.

I have all the documents downloaded but couldn't follow up or figure out how to make things work.

Please help.

Our experience is that each user
needs a different
data model (with only server
area, or also clients area, with suppliers and orders and
invoices or not, with cabling details or not, with
software licence / internal applications or not, with more
or less technical details, etc).

Configuring a data model in CMDBuild is
quite simple and can be done
in a couple of days of work.

So we do not have available
a standard model, but
we suggest that
everyone designs their own.
To do this it is sufficient that you rerun the installation by choosing to start from the empty database instead of the test database.

Thank you very much for the response.
I tried uninstalling and installing things again but still I see the old database and did not get the start page to choose the empty database.
Could you please help on how to do fresh installation?
I am using Ubuntu and I even removed tomcat6, postgresql and installed again.
Could you please indicate how to start fresh?
 
Best Regards.

I'm sorry, I forgot an information.
To reset the current configuration you first have to go in the CMDBuild configuration files (folder ${tomcat_home_cmdbuild}/webapps/${cmdbuild_instance}/WEB-INF/conf ), open the "database.conf" file and comment the line db.url (with the # character).

To use CMDB uild we recommend you read the manuals that you can find on the website:
