Many applications, including WordPress, need a MySQL database to store their content. Here's how to create and manage one in DirectAdmin.
Step 1: Log in to DirectAdmin
Go to your DirectAdmin login page, usually at yourdomain.com:2222, and sign in. Onebux Hosting clients can also log in directly from the Client Area.
Step 2: Open MySQL Management
In the Account Manager section, click MySQL Management.
Step 3: Create a new database
Click Create new Database, enter a name for the database and its user, set a password, then click Create Database.
Adding additional database users (optional)
From MySQL Management, click the database you want to add a user to, then click Create New User and set a username and password.
Managing user permissions (optional)
Click the database, then Modify Privileges next to a user, to grant or remove specific privileges (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, etc.) and click Save.
