3. How do I set up a MySQL Database, Username, and Password?
MySQL is a "Structured Query Language,"
part of the family of databases that power applications
ranging from industrial-level software to personal
account programs. Many of today\'s web programs are
powered by the MySQL database. For instance, if you
want to install the popular WordPress blog software
on your site, you will need to specify a database,
username, and password. You will also need to specify
the "host," which usually has the value "locahost,"
meaning that the database is on the same server as
the program.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to use the
program within Cpanel to create a user, password,
and database, and we will show you how to grant the
proper permissions to the user so the database is
accessible.
Step 1: Login to Cpanel
Login to your control panel through the "Cpanel Login"
link on the Crossmap.net home page.
Step 2: Create Database from Cpanel
Once logged into the control panel, there is a link
says "MySQL Database." First click on this link.
There is a field partway down the "MySQL Database."
page for adding databases. It says, "Db: " with an
empty field after it. Enter here the name of the database
you would like to create - perhaps "wordpress" if
you were to set up a WordPress database for your blog.
Then click "Add Db" and the database will be created.
Step 3: Create user from "MySQL Database."
Now you must create the user. Right underneath the
"Add DB" feature, there is the add user feature. Here,
enter the "UserName" and "Password" and click on the
"Add User" button.
Step 4: Give new user permission to access
new database
Now that the user and database are connected, you
need to give the user permission to access the database.
Above the "Add DB" feature there is a dropdown list
for the user and database. Select the newly created
user and the newly created database. Under privileges,
check the "all" option. Then click on "Add User to
DB."
The database and usernames are the same as that in
the dropdown menu. Both the username and database
will be appended with your account name as a prefix,
and this is for internal server organization. The
password will be whatever you specified when creating
the user. The host, if prompted in your program, is
going to be "localhost."
