How do I add/create a MySQL database? Print

It is easy once you get used to it. Here is how to make a MySQL database connection ready.

1. First, log into your control panel and choose "MySQL". Then fill out the new database option.
2. Then create a MySQL user on the same page.
3. Then add the user to the database on the same page, usually with full permissions.

The database is now ready to be used. You'll need to add the database name, database username, and database username password for the connection to work. If it asks for the host, the MySQL host is always: localhost
