+Using the alignment server requires an SQL database server.
+We see here, how to use mysql (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman).

+PORTS USED BY THE ALIGNMENT SERVER
+----------------------------------
+
+The alignment server is a communicating system that communicates through
+TCP sockets which are bound to ports on your machines. We provide here the
+list of default ports and options to change them as well as the necessity
+for the firewalls to open these ports:
+    	default	  option  open?
+HTTP	8080	  -httpport	Y
+Jade		  -jadeport
+	1099			? (RMI)
+	7778			Y (MTP HTTP)
+WSDL
+mysql	3306	-dbmsport	No if on the same machine
+
+MYSQL FOR THE FIRST TIME
+------------------------
+
+$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
+$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password mysqlpassword
+$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password mysqlpassword
+$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -ppasswd
+sql> source dbschema.sql
+sql> quit
+
+SAMPLE SCRIPT
+-------------
+
+$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -u adminAServ -paaa345 AServDB > toto.sql
+$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u adminAServ -paaa345 AServDB
+sql> source toto.sql;
+
