Method 1 is to setup the database with Wamp, or you can setup your database at a linux server. In this tutorial we are going to cover the easiest, and that is to have everything in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open <a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/phpmyadmin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/localhost\/phpmyadmin<\/a> in your browser. If you have to login the default username is root. Leave the password box empty and click on <strong>go<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"586\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/hostup.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-28.png\" alt=\"phpmyadmin databases screen\" class=\"wp-image-71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostup.se\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-28.png 586w, https:\/\/hostup.se\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-28-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To setup your database navigate to <a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/phpmyadmin\/server_databases.php?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/localhost\/phpmyadmin\/server_databases.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Type the name of your database in the first red marked box as seen below and click create.
