Creating A MySQL Database
Before you can use a MySQL database you need to create it and a user to access it. You can do this from your Hosting control panel. When you create a database and username your Hosting control panel automatically prefixes them with your Hosting control panel username. Follow the steps below, replacing "user" with your Hosting control panel username.
| 1. | Login to your Hosting control panel |
| 2. | Click MySQL Databases under the Databases tab |
| 3. | Enter the database name in the New Database field |
| 4. | Click Create Database |
| 5. | Under Add New User type the username and a password and click Create User |
| 6. | Under Add User To Database select the username and database and click Submit |
| 7. | Select the permissions you would like to give to that user and click Make Changes |
Now use the following details to connect to the database:
Server: localhost
User: user_me
Database: user_db
Password: The password you entered when you created user_me
