Use phpMyAdmin, which is included in the Bitnami stack, to create the database:
Open
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
in your web server and you should see the following page:Log in with the user
root
and the password you've entered during the installation process of Bitnami.Click on the Users tab and then on Add user and enter the following values:
Make sure you remember the password as you'll need it later when we install concrete5. Also make sure you select the radio button Create database with same name and grant all privileges. Click on Add user to confirm all values and continue creating the users and database.
We just created a new user called concrete5 as well as a database with the same name. There's one more change we have to make before we can use the new database for concrete5. In the left-hand column, select the new database and then click on Operations:
Change the value for Collation to
utf8_general_ci
and confirm the change by clicking on Go. With this step, we made sure that our database and therefore concrete5 can work with non-Latin characters such as umlauts and even Japanese or Chinese characters.
