= How do I create a mysql database? =

The easiest way is to login to this support system and [/newticket open a new ticket] asking for a MySQL database (please specify the domain name of the site you would like the database for and your requested database name).

If you are comfortable using [wiki:ssh secure shell], you can create your own database by executing the command:

{{{
mf-mysql-create
}}}

When creating a database, please preface the database name with your username to avoid naming collisions (for example: joe_phpbb).
