In fact the file supplied to --Database is a secfile containing details of
the database to use. The format of this needs documenting here. (As far as I
can tell, the Lua file referred to is hardcoded to be "database.lua" somewhere
in the path.)
For reference, here's the file I use, having reverse-engineered the format
from the source (carefully crafted to work with S2_3 and S2_4):
# for S2_3/S2_2
[auth]
host="localhost"
port="3306"
database="freeciv"
user="freecivadmin"
password="XXX"
table="auth"
login_table="loginlog"
# for trunk (2.4.x)
[fcdb]
host="localhost"
port="3306"
database="freeciv"
user="freecivadmin"
password="XXX"
table_user="auth"
table_log="loginlog"
It would be nice to document the S2_3 format too (on that branch), but S2_4
is the future, of course.
