TCH-Andy Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Hi Sri, welcome to the forums Log into cpanel, then go into the database section. Put in a name for your database, and select create database. In the user part (on the same database page) give a username and password, then create user. Further down on that page there is a point to assign the user to the database. Just select the user and database, make sure the all privileges box is ticked, then add the user to the database. You should then have a database created, with a user able to access it. Quote
TCH-Carl Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Also note that cpanel appends your cpanelUserName in front of your database and user name eg : if you create a database test, on the server it will be of the form cpanelUserName_test Same holds true for the database username as well ie : cpanelUserName_databaseUserName Password is just password Quote
