Creating The MySQL Database And User For phpBB  

The install process of phpBB creates a set of MySQL tables and populates some of them with appropriate (default) data to ensure that the forum runs successfully.

It's prudent to create a separate database named phpbb under MySQL so that phpBB has its own reserved data storage area under MySQL into which it will place its tables and populate them with default data appropriately as described above.

Additionally, create a MySQL user named phpbb. Protect this user with a password and finally grant this user full rights to the resources held in the phpbb database.

Creating A Database Under MySQL  

Open the MySQL Command Line Client to start MySQL or login to MySQL through Windows Command. At the mysql> prompt enter:  

CREATE DATABASE phpbb;

Output:  

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)

MySQL responds by immediately creating the phpbb database.
