💡 Troubleshooting Database Issues

For Shared Hosting (cPanel, Plesk, etc.):
  • Create database through hosting control panel
  • Create database user and assign to database
  • Grant ALL PRIVILEGES to the user
  • Database name format: usually "username_dbname"
For VPS/Dedicated Servers:
  • Login to MySQL: mysql -u root -p
  • Create database: CREATE DATABASE elwa_db;
  • Create user: CREATE USER 'elwadb'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
  • Grant permissions: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON elwa_db.* TO 'elwadb'@'localhost';
  • Reload privileges: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Common Issues:
  • Access denied: Check username/password and user permissions
  • Connection refused: Ensure MySQL service is running
  • Host not found: Try "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost"
