Creating A MySQL Database

Enter your cPanel and look for the icon with the words "MySQL Databases" underneath it. It'll look like this:

mysql database icon

Click on the icon and you will be taken to a "MySQL Account Maintenance" page.
Scroll down the page until you see a form:

new database form

In that form, input the name of the database you will be creating.
Click the button and you will be taken to a confirmation page. Click back and go to the next form:

new user form

Input the username and password you want, click the button and then click back when you're taken to the confirmation page.

Scroll down to the next form (and the last one we will be using). You should have something like this:

add user to database

Click the button. ;)

 

Your MySQL information will be:
db_name: (content of the information you put in on the first form)
db_user: (the user you put in on the second form)
db_pass: (the pass you put in on the second form)

The database name and user will both have your cPanel username before the actual database values. Example: if my cPanel username is "lirae" and my database name is "questions", then the database will be "lirae_questions". If I named my user "easyaa", then my database's username will be "lirae_easyaa".
