Link the database

The first thing to do is to create an empty database in your DB manager. Give it a name.

The next step is to go the file wp-config.php (or rename wp-config-sample.php) & write the correct info of your DB to be able to link it with WorkPress.

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');

/** MySQL database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'root' );

/** MySQL database password */
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'pass1234' );

/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', 'mysql' );

👉 To allow plugins to be installed on Linux, you must write the following line in your wp-config.php file : define('FS_METHOD','direct');
