Plesk Basics: How To Create a MySQL Database
October 21st, 2008
Since signing up with ZipHosters.com, I got the chance to try out Plesk (a web hosting control panel) a little more. I am using Parallels’ control panel for my VPS but I didn’t try out Plesk a lot.
In this post, I’m going to show you how to create a MySQL database. I’ve already done some tutorials on How To Create a MySQL Database with cPanel and DirectAdmin, so now there’s no reason you can’t follow my upcoming tutorials!
How To Create a MySQL Database With Plesk
First, log into your Plesk control panel (usually located at http://www.yourwebsite.com:8443). Now scroll to the bottom of the page and click on your domain name.
Next click on the Databases icon:
And then click Add New Database at the top. You will be prompted to enter a name for your database. There may already be a default prefix for your database name but you can remove it. Hit OK.
One the next page, click on Add New Database User and fill the form on the next page. Now just click OK and you’re done!

I tried creating a database to install wordpress. Why am I getting this error?
Error: Connection to the database server has failed because of network problems:
Try to establish connection failed
And how can I fix it?

Probably because the address of the MySQL server is incorrect. If MySQL is sitting on the same server as the WordPress installation then use “localhost” as the database server.
If not, then you’ll have to verify this information with your web host.
Who are you hosting with?
