This is how to create a database and a user using cPanel.
- Log in to your CPanel using your username and password
- Click on MySQL Databases
- Create a new database
- Database name - myxfdatabase
- Assign a table prefix if the option is available and if you want to do so, e.g. _xen
- Create a new user for the database
- Username dbadmin
- Password dbpassword
- Add the user to the database
- Set user permissions to full
You will then use the database and user created above in your config.php file (or eqivalent).
For example:
PHP:
$dbms = 'mysqli';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'myxfdatabase';
$dbuser = 'dbadmin';
$dbpasswd = 'dbpassword';
$table_prefix = 'xen_';
To install the XF software you will have to create a directory on your domain server and upload the files.
Then enter the install/index.php url in your browser's address bar.
That's where Floris' video starts from.
