To run the scheduling app properly you must have the database running and the server connected to it.

How to set up the MySQL database:

- Download and run the MySQL Installer, make sure that MySQL Server is installed 
  (optionally install MySQL Workbench).
- Create a MySQL server and with whatever host address you like and an available
  port. If your running it locally than you can keep it these values as default.
- In MySQL open the sql file "ScheduleApp.sql" and execute the following 
  commands:
    * create database ScheduleApp;
    * use ScheduleApp;
    * create table Employees(
        employee_ID INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
        first_name varchar(25),
        last_name varchar(25),
        primary key (employee_ID)
        );
    * create table Shifts(
        shift_id INT NOT NULL auto_increment UNIQUE,
        full_date DATE,
        start_time INT,
        end_time INT,
        employee_ID INT,
        PRIMARY KEY (shift_id),
        FOREIGN KEY (employee_ID) REFERENCES Employees(employee_ID)
    );
- Open the 'server' tab at the top and select 'server status', and make sure that
  the server status is 'Running'

How to set up the Scheduling Server:

- In the main method in the ScheduleServer input the proper parameters:
    * ip: The local address that you want the server to listen to. If your running the
        server and the client on the same machine set it to "localhost".
    * port: The port that you want the server to listen to.
    * dbURL: "jdbc:mysql://hostname:port/DB_Name". Change 'hostname' to the MySQL
      MySQL server address, Change 'port' to the MySQL server port, and
      'DB_Name' to the MySQL server database. (This should be ScheduleApp)
        to the 
    * dbUser: The user name of the MySQL server.
    * dbPass: The password of the MySQL password.
- Save, then run the main method.
