CREATE THE MySQL DATABASE
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database set-up (e.g. by
|
|
your host). In the following examples, 'username' is an example MySQL user which
|
|
has the CREATE and GRANT privileges. Use the appropriate user name for your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
First, you must create a new database for your Drupal site (here, 'databasename'
|
|
is the name of the new database):
|
|
|
|
mysqladmin -u username -p create databasename
|
|
|
|
MySQL will prompt for the 'username' database password and then create the
|
|
initial database files. Next you must login and set the access database rights:
|
|
|
|
mysql -u username -p
|
|
|
|
Again, you will be asked for the 'username' database password. At the MySQL
|
|
prompt, enter following command:
|
|
|
|
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE
|
|
TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES
|
|
ON databasename.*
|
|
TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
'databasename' is the name of your database
|
|
'username@localhost' is the username of your MySQL account
|
|
'password' is the password required for that username
|
|
|
|
Note: Unless your database user has all of the privileges listed above, you will
|
|
not be able to run Drupal.
|
|
|
|
If successful, MySQL will reply with:
|
|
|
|
Query OK, 0 rows affected
|
|
|
|
To activate the new permissions, enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
