| Q: How do I create a MySQL database? |
|
This can be done very easily through your Helm Control Panel :
- Logon to your Helm Control Panel and click the Domains link.
- Select the appropriate domain from the list.
- Click Database Manager .
- Click Add New .
- Select MySQL as the database type and enter a name for your
database. Use a name that resembles your domain, such as mydomainDB .
- Click Save to create the database.
- Make a note of the value displayed next to Connection Information .
This is the name of the server your MySQL database was created on. You
will need this information whenever you need to connect to the database.
- Now you need to create a user that will allow you to connect to your
database. Under Database Users click the Add New button.
- Enter a username, a password and confirm the password. To make it easier
to remember all your usernames, use the name you gave your database as
your username, or enter a username that matches your domain, such as domain.com .
- Click Save to create the database user.
