I am sorry I said install in the title but I meant to put create. :/

I am wondering how do you create a MySQL database? I am trying to download something for my website, and it says to create a MySql database.

Does any one know what this is and how I go about doing it?




Thank you.

It is done in the cPanel at your server. Find something called phpMyadmin and you will find an option to create a database.

Actually, in cPanel, look under the Database heading for an icon called MySQL Databases. Click that and you are presented with a screen to create new databases and users. phpMyadmin allows you to work with existing database structure, meta data, and data.

Oh, Thank you.

Can this be done in FTP, or is that how to do it using a different program?

You can't create a database using an FTP client. You must use the hosting control panel or code.
