MySQL Database Wizard
cPanel can guide you through the process of setting up a MySQL database, along with the requisite accounts and privileges, step by step.
To set up a database using the MySQL Database Wizard:
- In the New Database field, enter a name for the database.
- Click Next Step.
- In the Username field, enter a name for the user allowed to manage the database.
- In the Password field, type the user's password.
- For help generating a secure password, click the Generate Password button.
- Retype the password in the Password (Again) field.
- Click Next Step.
- Select the privileges you wish to grant the user, or select ALL PRIVILEGES.
- Click Next Step.
Next, cPanel will display a message stating that the database and user account were successfully set up. From here, you may select 1 of 3 options:
- Add another database. Returns to the start of the MySQL database wizard.
- Add another user using the MySQL Databases Area. Opens the MySQL databases page, wherein you may create additional user accounts and assign them to a database.
- Return to Home. Opens the cPanel home screen.
Note: When you add a user and database using the MySQL database wizard, the user is automatically given access to the database, so there is no need to use the Add User to Database feature.
