2. Fill out the connection form

Here's what each field means:

🔹 SERVER IP: 
The IP address where your SQL Server database is hosted. If you're on the same VPS, use `127.0.0.1`.

🔹 PORT: 
Default SQL Server port is `1433`. Make sure it's open in your firewall or hosting service.

🔹 TIMEZONE: 
Your timezone in standard format. Common examples: 
- `America/Buenos_Aires` 
- `America/Santiago` 
- `Europe/Madrid`

🔹 USERNAME: 
Your SQL Server username – usually `sa` or whatever you've created.

🔹 PASSWORD: 
Password for your SQL Server user.

🔹 DATABASE: 
The name of your MuOnline database where all server tables are located.

🔹 ADMIN USERNAME: 
The username you want to use for the MMO CMS admin panel.

🔹 ADMIN PASSWORD: 
Password for the administrator account you're creating.

🔹 CONNECTION TYPE: 
Choose `dblib` if you're using SQL Server (recommended). Other options like `sqlsrv` only appear if that extension is enabled.

Check the following:

✅ Server IP is reachable from the web environment (e.g. use 127.0.0.1 if local)
