![]() ![]() Click the Create button at the bottom of the form to create the database.However, you can just as easily add one after it is created as the Create a new table section explains. It is possible to use the form to create an initial table for the new database.Names should contain only letters and numbers, and no spaces. Enter a name for the new database into the Database name field.This will take you to a form for entering the new database's details. On the module's main page, click on the Create a new database link above or below the table of existing database icons.If you want to store your own data, it is best to create your own database to add tables to instead of messing with the mysql database. When MySQL is first installed, a database called mysql is created that contains authentication and access control related tables. This will take you to a page in the Perl Modules module (covered in chapter 27) where DBI and/or DBD::mysql are downloaded and installed for you. If either is missing, a message will be displayed at the bottom of the main page prompting you to install one or both by clicking on a link. For this reason, you should install the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules. However, it is not totally reliable as certain kinds of table data produce output that cannot always be parsed. The former method is always available, because the mysql command is always installed when the database server is. It can either run the mysql command with the correct parameters and parse its output, or use the Perl DBI library to connect directly. ![]() To execute these commands Webmin must connect to the database server, which can be done in one of two ways. The MySQL module uses SQL commands to perform actions like creating tables, adding fields and editing records. This can happen if you installed it from the source instead of using the package that comes with your Linux distribution. If the module complains that it cannot find the mysql program even though you have it installed, you will need to adjust the paths that it uses. ![]() On other Unix variants, it assumes that you have compiled and installed MySQL from the source code distribution, available from. On FreeBSD and NetBSD, the module expects the MySQL package for those operating systems to be installed. Each Linux distribution seems to use a different set of packages, so make sure you install them all. Often there are several, named something like mysql, mysql-client, mysql-server and mysql-devel. Check your distribution CD or website for all MySQL-related packages, and install them using the Software Packages module. If the database server is not installed at all on your system, the main page will display an error message like *The MySQL client program /usr/bin/mysql was not found on your system*. Only if you have changed it manually or through Webmin will the MySQL Login page appear. Even though it is possible to enter the username and password for any MySQL user, non-root users cannot perform tasks such as creating databases and tables - and so neither will the module be able to.īy default, the module is configured to login with the username and password that the MySQL package for your distribution uses by default. You should enter the administration username into the Login' field (usually root), and the corresponding password into the Password field. If the database server is running but Webmin does not know the correct password to login to it with, the main page will display a *MySQL Login* form instead. The MySQL Database Server module main page, right after installation of mariadb-server, and running the recommended /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation to remove security breaches ![]()
