    * Modify sinedon.cfg to look like the following example. Set the host, [[Explanation of Sample Names|db, user, and passwd to match the databases created during your Database Server setup]]. Note that the user here is the MySQL user Leginon uses to communicate with the database for all Leginon users. For an Appion or Leginon installation that uses Project database, set the following:
