It is safe to run the updatedb script. It will add Illumina-specific tables and columns to the database. It will not destroy anything already in it. > But that's not the worst of of it.

Finally it gives up. The database user and password is configured in the base.config file and if you already have your BASE server up and running it should work. The error message you are getting indicates that the configuration in base.config is incorrect. The password and (optional) username that you can give to updatedb is the usernaname and password of root account in your base installation. Everything should be described in the BASE manual.
