Create a new, empty database for your installation. Refer to moodle.org for updated information, and as you do so, you will need to find and make a note of your database server hostname, username, and password for use during the final installation stage:
- dbhost: This is the database server hostname. It is usually localhost if the database and web server are the same machine, or it can be the name of the database server.
- dbname: This is the database name. It is usually moodle.
- dbuser: This is the username for the database. Use what you assigned, which is usually moodleuser. Be sure not to use the root/superuser account. Create an account with the minimum permissions needed.
- dbpass:Â This is the password for the moodleuser.
If your site is hosted, you should find a web-based administration page for databases...
