Create mysql database manually

[Danielss89]

Hi,

is it possiblt to craete the ISPconfig mysql database manually??
in the setup, it cant create the database, it says it cant connect to mysql, but it just continues installation, and when its done i can go to the logonsite, and it just says wrong ispconfig password, so it connects to the mysqldatabase afterwords...

So no i just have to create the ispconfig database manually, i think. Is this possible?

No, because the installer creates some very important database records on-the-fly that would be missing if you created the database manually.

IF the installer cannot connect to MySQL, make sure that the username (should be root) and password are correct. Also, the password must not contain special characters like '$%&§!| etc.
