MySQL Settings

Engineering NuPIC
1

MySQL is required for swarming. By default, NuPIC expects you to have a root user with no password. If you are uncomfortable with that, you’ll need to update the default NuPIC configuration file at $NUPIC/config/default/nupic-default.xml. The markup to update is:

<property>
  <name>nupic.cluster.database.user</name>
  <value>root</value>
  <description>Username for the MySQL database server </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>nupic.cluster.database.passwd</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>Password for the MySQL database server </description>
</property>
