Documentation Vague: Creating the Database.

[postpwn3d]

I find this excerpt from the documentation vague:

 

"Using PHPmyAdmin or another tool, create your Database and user, and assign that user to the database. Write down the name of the database, username, and password for this database for the database installation procedure."

 

Now, I'm not complaining- at all. I think that this community has put in a lot of work for a noble cause.

 

I just really don't understand what it's asking me to do. Am I supposed to log into PHPmyAdmin and fashion a database to store username and password information. If so, how should it be structured? There's absolutely nothing in that chunk of instruction telling me if it does or does not matter where the database is-- or how it should look.

 

any help would make me so happy. So if you know what I need to do, and have a spare second, please reply~.

NOTE: The only thing I have done so far is upload the catalog folder to my server in ASCII transfer mode...

I use Godaddy.

I logged into there control panel and went to databases.

From databases I created a database from there(I had to name it something like "store"). When you create one it will make you choose a user name and password.Along with a store name. Write all that info down somewhere for later. When you run the Install.php it will ask you for all that info and set-up your database for you.You just need to supply it with the right info.

 

Hope that helps
