  2. Click Databases.
  3. Click Add Database.
  4. Enter the database name.
  5. Select the related website.
  6. Create a database user and strong password.
  7. Save.

Connection details

  • Host: localhost in most cases.
  • Database: the database name you created.
  • User: the database user.
  • Password: the database user password.
  • Port: 3306 unless your app says otherwise.

phpMyAdmin
