1.Create MySQL database and user for Claroline
Prior to install Claroline, you have to create a MySQL database and add a user with all privileges to it. You can do this by following the simple steps below or our video tutorial available at: Create MySQL DB
Log into your cPanel (located at https://yoursite.com:2082 for your domain) Go to MySql databases. Scroll down and find: Db: _________ [add]. Here your preferred database name should be entered. Then, click Add.
This will create a database in the format of cpanelusername_databasename, where cpanelusername is your cPanel account login username with TMDhosting. Databasename is the name you have typed for your database – in this tutorial we’ve used claroline.
Now scroll down to Users. Enter a username and password, and then click Add User.
This will create a username in the format of cpanelusername_username, where cpanelusername is your cPanel account login username with TMDHosting, and username is the one you have just created for your new database.
Please, scroll back up to locate the two drop down boxes with a button that says [Add User to Db].
In the drop-down select box on the left, choose your newly created username, and in the box on the right, choose your newly created database. Click Add User to Db.
