Installation 03 Database Creation

IXP Manager requires a MySQL(*) database. In this step we will just create the database and access details, in a later step we will use Doctrine to create the schema.

(*) Doctrine ORM uses a Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) meaning that any supported database by Doctrine should work fine but we have used MySQL exclusively.

Database and User Creation

Use whatever means you like to create a database and user for IXP Manager. For example:

$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE `ixp`;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON `ixp`.* TO `ixp`@`127.0.0.1` IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
