Run Config and change to MySQL. Once done reimport your gedcom. Should work as advertised.
If you have any problems, delete all gedcoms (via Gedcom Manager). Then convert to SQL mode add db account, pass phrase and db name, and then add your Gedcom config and import.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You shouldn't have to delete the gedcoms when switching between index and MySQL mode. The gedcoms and the gedcom configuration and privacy settings will all remain.
Now you also have a choice as to which authentication module you use. The authentication module handles the user settings, favorites, and messages. If you switch from authentication_index.php to authentication_mysql.php you will have to re-enter your users and you will lose your favorites and your messages. If you don't want to lose this information, then it is possible to run the gedcom indexes using MySQL and use the authentication_index.php authentication module.

quote "heads you use the Index files, tails you use the MySQL database. You can always switch later."
can someone point me to directions for how to convert from index to mysql ?
(I tried to set up mysql and failed somehow, and now i want to get it right but dont want to lose my data)
Do I just export the gedcom somehow, convert to mysql from the config.php, reinit the system, then import the gedcom? that sounds painful
