hello and good day - good day dear frineds, :cool:

on a server i am running webmin
btw: finally was able to step through all the steps of creating a new vhost

now for the creation of a mysql-db with user, user permission and so on..i have got a question:
which are the right steps and whhich is the correct sequence?

well in other words: what comes first - second - third ...?

btw: some of the net-ressources say like so;: found some here: https://www.trustfm.net/ebooks/DedicatedServer.php?page=MySQL

first: Now go to Servers > MySQL Database Server.
Click the "Start" button in order to start the database server.
Now click the link "Create a new database".

next ...: create a new "User"

third: ...After the user creation Webmin will lead you at the "User Permissions" page where you should have the newly created user userwebsite1db1 like the picture below.

forth: .... click at the "Return to database list" list located at the bottom of the page.

what do you think is the right sequence - and
besides this: The question comes up to my mind. Why can ´t i go and create the whole stuf with some excel-commands that i enter in the excel-command form of Webmin!?

note: i am not on a CLI at the server. But i have the webmin - whereas i can run some SQL-commmands

look forward to hear from you🤩

regards

I hope that you do not use sensitive Data on your installation.

Webmin is not considered highly safe software.

Hello dear JackMDS;)

first of all : many thanks for the reply - for your answer and yes: for the sharing of your ideas. 👍
well i all ways thought that this would be pretty safe.

At the moment i am not at home - in front of the according machine that has access to the server - and the Webmin ( hmm - i think its Webmin and not (!)) Virtualmin - which is somewhat different - and the processes in the second - will be much much more automated - i have heard

i will come back later the day - and will give you more information

Meanwhile - many thanks for the answer - and for steppin up the plate :)

untill later ...
