Before you start ONLYOFFICE for the first time it is necessary to create the database and configure connection to it. To do that run the /var/www/onlyoffice/configure.sh configuration script. This script will interactively ask you to enter the MySQL connection parameters, create the database, update configuration files and run all services. (The script does not create users for the database and does not change passwords for existing users.)
