ISPConfig — Add Database

This procedure will illustrate how to add a database using the ISPConfig3 interface. Although this can, and sometimes must, be done using phpMyAdmin, or a console client, I use the ISPConfig3 interface first if possible.

1. Logon to the ISPConfig3 admin interface.
2. Select the Sites tab.
3. Select Databases from the menu on the left.
4. Select the Add new Database button.
5. Select the Site from the dropdown.
   • This is the site for which the database is being created.
6. Enter the Database name.
   • Note that the Database name field is prefixed with c[CLIENTID]d[DOMAINID] making each one uniq and allowing for the remaining portion of the name to be the same.
7. Select the Database user from the dropdown.
   • If you do not have a database user, once can be assigned later. Until then only admin will be able to access the database. To create one now, follow the ISPConfig — Add Database User procedure.
8. Select the Save button.

ISPConfig — Add Database User

When database access is desired, database users are created. These users are then considered the owner’s of the databases they create.

1. Logon to the ISPConfig3 admin interface.
2. Select the Sites tab
3. Select Database Users from the menu on the left.
4. Select the Add new User button.
5. Select the appropriate client from the Client dropdown.
6. Enter the Database user name in the field.
   • Note the c[CLIENTID] portion ofthe database user field? This ensures each client has a uniq name. As one database user can own multiple databases, for multiple sites, you do not need to create a uniq id for each domain.
7. Enter the Password for the user, or select the Generate Password button.
8. Confirm the password by entering it again in the Repeat Password area.
9. Select the Save button.

ISPConfig — Build and Configure

Purpose

I have been “playing around” with ISPConfig3 for a while now, learning some of the in’s and out’s, and now it is time to build my first production, hopefully, system.

This document illustrate the process, mainly to keep track of what is being done.

I am essentially following the documents on HowtoForge for a CentOS 7.3 Minimal Server and The Perfect Server for the ISPConfig3 portion. By default, these documents build everything on one server and we won’t change that either.
