2. Creating MySQL Database and User
This CMS requires a MySQL database and user to be able to store data. You can create them with phpMyAdmin, or run this sequence of commands from the terminal:
mysql -u root -p
create database tiki;
CREATE USER 'tiki-user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '12345';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tiki.* TO 'tiki-user' IDENTIFIED BY '12345';
exit
The text highlighted in red are randomly selected. You can replace them with your own details. Here are the MySQL details that have been created:
- Hostname: localhost
- Database name: tiki
- Database user: tiki-user
- Database user password: 12345
