Setup the MySQL database
Before installing Trac, you'll need to setup the MySQL database.
Log into MySQL database, using the root credentials you've setup during the installation:
mysql -u root -p
Once logged in, create the database for Trac:
CREATE DATABASE trac DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
Now create the username which Trac is going to use to connect to the database:
GRANT ALL ON trac.* TO trac@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
You can now exit the MySQL command line.
