Setting up a database user using phpMyAdmin

How do you create a new database(mysql) user using phpMyadmin?

Do you have to use the command line tool?

 

Does this help? http://www.cerberusweb.com/manual/installing.database.html

 

No... Unfortunately.

I'm using 1and1 for hosting. They're telling me you can't create a user from the phpmyadmin control panel.

My control panel differs from the one in the site you posted. I don't have access to 'privileges'.

 

Are you trying to add an additional user to the database?

At 1and1, a user is created when you create the database, you can see here at the bottom, http://faq.1and1.com/applications/mysql_administration/3.html

You'd think they'd offer you more info about how to go about doing this rather than just saying you can't.

After some searching, I found this but it's older.

I actually figured out my problem.

I was trying to install drupal on my site. 1and1 hosts the database on a different server so I had to change "localhost" to the url of my database.

Thanks for your help.

 

1and1 dont sound to good!
