# Database Configuration

You need to configure your backend to communicate with a database for data storage.

* Open the **.env** file in the backend project. If you can't find the **.env** file, please make sure you set your file manager to show dot files or just create a **.env** file at the root folder of your project.

Here is a link that shows how to enable show dot file on your server: <https://www.webhostface.com/kb/knowledgebase/hidden-files-file-manager/>

You can change the following variable in the **.env** file.

1. APP\_NAME
2. APP\_URL
3. Database Credentials
