	The database configuration for biomaj can be set or modified in /etc/biomaj/db_properties/global.properties.

       In the install fails due to a SQL error, the install script must be manually run to create/upgrade the database:

       perl /usr/share/biomaj/sql/migration/update.pl

       The script will create/upgrade the database and update the configuration files.

ADMIN USER

       A default admin user (admin) is created by the scripts.	If using the biomaj-watcher, the default password (admin) MUST be changed  immedi-
       atly via the watcher interface.

       If only biomaj core is used, password is useless.
