Getting Started with Private MySQL Server

Overview

A Private MySQL Server gives you your own dedicated MySQL server rather than a share of a common one. You create and manage its databases from the Everleap Control Panel, under Databases > Private MySQL.

Creating databases

1. Log in to the Private MySQL section of the Control Panel and click the Create MySQL Database button.
2. Enter a database name, username and password, then click the Create Database button.

Changing a database password

1. Log in to the Private MySQL section of the Control Panel and click the Manage link for the database you would like to change.
2. Click the Update link next to "Database Password: *****".
3. Enter the new password for the database user and click the Update Password button.

Connecting to a database

1. Log in to the Private MySQL section of the Control Panel.
2. Click the Manage link next to the database you would like to connect to. The connection parameters are displayed in the General Information section.

Use those parameters in your application's connection string, or in a tool such as MySQL Workbench or phpMyAdmin.

Verify it worked

After creating a database it appears in the list in the Private MySQL section. Connect to it with the server name, database name and user shown in the General Information section to confirm the credentials work.

Notes

• To add more disk space, memory or CPU cores to your Private MySQL Server, please contact the billing department.
