How to Create a New MySQL Database
This document provides the steps necessary to establish a new database within your cPanel account. Note that creating the database is the first step; a user must be created and assigned to the database separately.
Step 1: Accessing the Database Manager
- Log in to your cPanel control panel.
- Locate the Databases category and click on the MySQL Databases link.
Step 2: Naming and Creating the Database
- Under the heading titled "Create a New Database", enter the desired name for your database in the provided text field. The name will automatically be prefixed with your cPanel username.
- Click the Create Database button to instantly establish the new database.
The database is now created. Remember that you must proceed to create a new MySQL user and then grant that user permissions to the database to make it functional for your applications.
