      Follow these steps to setup the mvnForum database schema and prepare the data tables with seed forum data.
      <ul>
      NOTE: If you are updating from either beta1 or beta2, then you must apply one patch to the existing database schema.  This patch adds the
      ability to have two forums with the same name under separate categories. To upgrade your database schema from
      beta1/beta2 release to beta3 release, run the sql script <code>sql\upgrade\1_0_0_beta2_to_1_0_0_beta3\mvnForum_update_mysql.sql</code><br>
      The file: mvnForum_&lt;supported database server&gt;.sql can be use for beta1 and beta2, and beta3<br>
      NOTE: before running the script, we highly recommend that you back up all your data.<br>
       <li>In the extracted folder, find the file sql/mvnForum_&lt;supported database server&gt;.sql</li>
       <li>Create a database and confirm the correct database parameters have been set in the application server configuration step <a href="#II2">above</a></li>
       <li>Run the script. Please see the documentation for your database server for details on how to run sql scripts.  Details on the sql scripts are presented in the database server-specific sections below.</li>
       <li>Copy the jdbc driver for your database to the WEB-INF/lib folder of your context in step 3 above.  (Note that this release includes 4 drivers for MySql,
            postgreSQL and hsqldb)</li>
        NOTE: mvnForum includes an embedded database for hsqldb in folder sql/hsqldb, so you can
         copy this folder (hsqldb) to your mvnForumHome and set the proper config file
         mvncore_db_DBOptions.properties. This is the quickest way to get started with mvnForum.

      With the database and application server setup, you should be able to navigate to your new forum.  The forum is setup with two separate zones, the administrator zone and the user zone.<br><br>
      With the default installation, the two zones are:<br>
      http://www.[yourserver].com/[yourcontext]/mvnforum/index : home for mvnForum<br>
      http://www.[yourserver].com/[yourcontext]/mvnforumadmin/index : Admin Zone

      If you installed in the ROOT context, the URLS are:<br>
      http://www.[yourserver].com/mvnforum/index : home for mvnForum<br>
      http://www.[yourserver].com/mvnforumadmin/index : home for the Admin Zone<br>
      Follow these steps to login to the administrator zone and start configuring your forums:
      <ul>
       <li>Navigate to the Admin Zone and enter username = admin and password = admin</li>
       <li>If Login is successful, click a Test System Configuration to check that the mvnForum has been properly configured. </li>
