I am new to Django, MySQL, and EC2. I am trying to develop a small scale app and just had acouple questions as I got started. I have read through the Django tutorial and want to get started trying some of the stuff I just learned out.

One thing I am having trouble with is how do I create a MySQL database on EC2?

I have installed the following things on my EC2 instance so far:

  • Django 1.3
  • MySQL
  • Apache
  • mysql_server
  • MySQL-python

Is there something I ahve ot download in addition or is there a command I can use to create start creating databases and tables?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

    If you don’t mind installing PHP in your server, then phpmyadmin is an excellent, free, tool. It allows you to manage your database in a very intuitive way. I strongly recommend it if you are new to MySQL.

    If PHP is not an option, then you can either look for a non-PHP graphic tool as an alternative to phpmyadmin, or use the mysql shell command:

    $ mysql -u username -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
mysql> USE mydatabase;
mysql> CREATE TABLE ... ... ...
