Don't worry, the webmatrix config here doesn't actually define how umbraco will connect. On this screen just put in some dummy details for a sql database... This connection information will be saved in webmatrix for the site, but you can delete it after.
When you run the actual Umbraco installer in a few steps time, you will be able to set the database as MySql.
How to install umbraco using webmatrix and choose a mysql data base?
Hello,
I'm trying to install umbraco using WebMatrix and want to use MySQL database. The second installation step is to choose the database, what should I do to use the local MySQL database on my pc?
