MariaDB Where to create DB for Xenforo

I already installed PHPMyAdmin, now I'm on the way to install Xenforo. Where can I create DB username and password during installation of the software? Can i use root? Please advise.. Thanks

how about phpMyAdmin? which part does it takes into action?

 

does it mean I can create DB and users via phpMyAdmin web interface?

 

@eva2000 thanks, I'm just confused where to create as I'm more on icon based procedure . I'll try using mysqladmin_shell.sh Shell based Addon | Centmin Mod Community also.

seeing the screenshot on tut, you answer "n" on the first question. I believe root user password is created by default, why is that you answered 'n'? . Please advise

 

thanks @eva2000 that cleared my confusion

 

by checking on the via phpMyAdmin, I see "No" on users grant field. I checked the privileges all is unchecked. While running
/root/tools/mysqladmin_shell.sh showgrants tells below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*rwerwerwerwerwerwerwerwerwr' |
| GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TA BLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE ON `dbname`.* TO 'username'@'localhost' |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seeing the output, the grant select, insert etc is ON but it's different on phpMyAdmin users tab. Please advise. Thanks

 

thanks, hopefully other members in here who uses phpMyAdmin can give advise.
