You call the database whatever you want. Access the right-click EasyPHP menu again and select Administration. On the page that appears in your browser, select Manage MySQL. You’ll now see a new page in your browser. This is PhpMyadmin – the tool you can use to manage databases.
In the Create new database input, type in wordpress, then select Create. Once the new db has been created, it will appear in the left-hand column. Click on the db name in this column.
In the db management page, there’s a list of tabs across the top. Select Privileges followed by Add a new User. You now enter the database username and password (think of this as setting up WordPress’ access credentials – not your login details). Don’t worry about any of the dropdowns in the first box – just add a username and a password (you’ll need to type the latter in twice).
In the second box (called “Database for user”), ensure that Grant all privileges on database “wordpress” is selected.
In the third box (called “Global privileges”), click Check All.
Make a final note of the username and password (copying them to NotePad is a good idea at this point), then select Go.
You’ve now set up a new database and a user who is allowed to use your new database. Next you need to tell your user (WordPress) where to find the database and what user name & password it should use to log into the database server. Open wp-config-sample.php in NotePad and re-save it as wp-config.php. Now add your database settings:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'the_username_you_created');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'the_password_for_your_new_user');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');
Save the file then try running wordpress/wp-admin/install.php again.
