MySQL Database

If you choose MySQL as your database engine, MOVEit Central will either install its own copy of MySQL, or will use an existing copy if it detects that MySQL is already installed. Although MOVEit Central will usually correctly detect an existing copy of MySQL, if you want to use MySQL as your database engine, it is not recommended that you install MOVEit Central on a computer that already has a copy of MySQL running (unless that copy was installed by another MOVEit product). This is because it is difficult for the MOVEit Central installer to detect MySQL installations with non-standard service names or port numbers. Also, an arbitrary pre-installed copy of MySQL may be a version that is not compatible with MOVEit Central.
