Creating a Database

Now we need to create a database. From the newly created start menu items, select 'mySQL Administrator'. You will then be prompted for a login.

Using mySQL Administrator

Using the details you entered during the mySQL installation, enter the server host as 'localhost', the username 'root' and the password you entered during the mySQL installation. Then click on 'ok', you will be presented with the mySQL Administrator dialog.

Using mySQL Administrator

Scroll down to 'Catalogs', which is the name it gives to databases. In there you will see a list of database already created. All you need to do select 'Catalogs', and right click in the white space around the other databases to display a context menu.

Select to 'Create a Schema', give it a name. And that is one database created. As you can see in the screenshot, I have already created a database called 'cubecart'.

You can now follow the installation instructions to install CubeCart on your local PC rather than relying on an internet connection.
