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 Manager. When you create a database and username your Hosting Manager automatically prefixes them with your Hosting Manager username. Follow the steps below, replacing “user” with your Hosting Manager username.

1.	Login to your Hosting Manager.
2.	Click “MySQL Databases”
3.	Next to “Db:” type a database name (e.g. “db”) and click “Add Db”
4.	Return to the “MySQL Databases” page
5.	Under “Users” type a username (e.g. “me”) and a password and click “Add User”
6.	Return to the “MySQL Databases” page
7.	Select the newly created user (e.g. “user_me”) and the newly created database (e.g. “user_db”) and click “Add User to Db”
8.	Add ‘%’ to access hosts. This will allow the users to connect to the database
	Use the following details to connect to databases Server: localhost User: user_me Database: user_db Password: The password you entered when you created user_me
