Install - URL Shortener Script

Shared hosting (cPanel / Plesk): create the database in cPanel > MySQL Databases first, add a user to it and grant ALL PRIVILEGES, then paste the full names your panel shows (they include your account prefix, e.g. mysite_shortlink).
This installer creates the tables only - it never creates databases.

Database Host

Database Name ? Paste the exact database name shown in your host's panel, including any prefix. e.g. mysite_shortlink_db.

Database User

Database Password

Create the database if it doesn't exist (advanced) Leave this off on shared hosting. It only works when your MySQL user is allowed to create databases (typical for a local XAMPP install).
