Is MySQL included in C5 5.7.4.2 Install?

Permalink
I'm new at installing C5 on a a raw server. I've uploaded C5 5.7.4.2 to my server. The instructions say to install a MySQL database, but doesn't say how. Is that a separate install?

I've gotten as far as the attached screenshot, but I don't know if the installer is putting MySQL for me or if I'm supposed to get it somewhere else.

I'm stuck and don't know what to do, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You should create a new database and then on the right hand side, of the installation page where you're stuck on, you should fill out the name of the database you just created and your login details.
The first field of the database info "Server" most likely is "localhost".

Also, are you using XAMPP or are did you bought your hosting?

When you say "create a new database"... How do I do that?

The server uses Apache. My company has it's own server, so we are hosting.

You probably have access to a server managing interface called cPanel.

If you do login to that. Then look for where you are given database choices and choose phpMyAdmin

Once in phpMyAdmin, click on the top tab "Databases" and create a new database. Give it a name and for collation select utf8_general_ci

Then click on the top tab "Users" and create a new user. Give it a name and a password.and for host select "Local". Don't give it any privileges. Click the "GO" button to create the user.

Now from the user's list, edit the privileges of the new user. Under "Table specific privileges" select the table you created previously and grant all privileges. Click on the "GO" button under the privileges.

Once that's done, you can finish your installation with the database and user information you just created
