Applications like WordPress store their content in a MySQL database. If your hosting uses cPanel, the MySQL Database Wizard makes creating one quick. Here is how.
Using the MySQL Database Wizard #
- Faça login no cPanel.
- No Bancos de dados section, click MySQL Database Wizard.
- Step 1: enter a name for your new database and click Next.
- Step 2: create a database user with a strong password.
- Step 3: assign the user to the database and grant All Privileges.
- Finish the wizard.
Note the details you will need #
Write these down, as most applications ask for them during setup:
- Database name (often prefixed with your account name).
- Database username.
- Database password.
- Anfitrião: normalmente localhost.
Managing databases later #
- Uso MySQL Databases to add users, change privileges, or delete databases.
- Uso phpMyAdmin to browse tables and import or export data.
Tips #
- Use a unique password for each database user.
- Grant only the privileges an application needs.
- Export a backup before making big changes.
Solução de problemas #
- Application cannot connect: check the name, user, password, and that the host is localhost.
- Access denied: confirm the user is assigned to the database with the right privileges.
- Name looks different: remember cPanel adds your account prefix.
