Creating the database¶

The database is created automatically by the install.sh.

To create the database manually, complete these steps:

• Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

  $ mysql -u root -p
  

• Create the ec2api database:

  CREATE DATABASE ec2api;
  

• Grant proper access to the ec2api database:

  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ec2api.* TO 'ec2api'@'localhost' \
   IDENTIFIED BY 'EC2-API_DBPASS';
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ec2api.* TO 'ec2api'@'%' \
   IDENTIFIED BY 'EC2-API_DBPASS';
  

  Replace EC2-API_DBPASS with a suitable password.

• Exit the database access client.

  exit;
