  • Create a MySQL Database

    Hello,
    I just downloaded EspoCRM and I don't know much about PHP, MySQL and all that stuff. I just want to use this soft locally.
    I read the installation guide, I downloaded Xampp to make it work locally. I guess I have to activate Apache and MySQL to make things work properly.
    Now I am stuck on point 3 : "Create a My SQL Database for EspoCRM to use". How do I do that? Can Xampp do that for me? Do I have to download an another programm ?

    Please help me.
    Thanks a lot.

    Markus

    set database name as you want (crm, espocrm, my_db....)
    username and password in mysql - the main user is the user with name' root' (by default), the password you could set, while you installing xampp. I think phpMyAdmin was installed as well, try to login to see your databases

      I think the easiest way to get started for beginners without experience with database and web development is to create an account with a web host.
      Maybe start with a free plan. Find one by google "free webhosting"
      Be sure to find a host that uses Softaculous service. With this service the installation is done with a click.

          why do you need it on the hard disk?
          you know the database user and password, set this values on the installation form and finish the installation process

            I have the message : "SQLSTATE[HY000] [1044] Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'icc'" I thought the proble was that th database "icc" doesn't exist.

            Sorry, I realized, I have to use "root" as user.

              hello
              you don't need to use root user, but only the use, who has needed permissions
              check data/config.php database section. There you can set database name and user

                Hello,
                I managed to get work espocrm locally on my PC. If I would like to make it work on a web host. Could I chosse https://www.1and1.co.uk/hosting-linux for eaxample. What do I need?
                I think I need PHP, but what version?

                I finally realised, that you offer the service to webhost the espocrm solution for 15$ / month. Sorry but this solution is a lbit to expansive for me for trying this software. But here is not the best place to take advice for one of your competitors.

                  Hello
                  https://www.espocrm.com/documentatio...configuration/ (but php5.6+)
                  Here you can see requirements. If your hosting has all of needed, of course you can choose it.

                  if you want to move your data to another server https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ther-server.md

                  And EspoCRM cloud has free trial solution for 30 days. And cloud crm includes Advanced Pack.
