If you scroll down to “Using phpMyAdmin,” as you can see in this graphic, there should be a “create database” button. None exists in HostRocket’s phpMyAdmin.
In the next graphic below, it shows there should be a “users” tab. There is none.
I don’t remember installing WordPress to be this hard.
Please help. Thx

If your host is using cPanel, then you create your database in there. Contact your host for further help.
Well, there are no “graphics below”, but my guess would be those screen shots are for if you are logged into phpMyAdmin as root user who has full permissions to create users and databases.
Since you have neither, you are most likely being auto logged into phpMyAdmin as the default mysql user that gets created with hosting accounts which won’t have permissions.
In a quick search, it appears that HostRocket does use cPanel.
Inside of cPanel, look for a tool called Database Wizard and go through that to create a database and user for it.
Most hosts don’t give you an unlimited number of databases, mine gives 3 500mb and 1 2gb databases if I remember correctly. I have to create the databases and users from their back office and it seems logical that I can’t do it in phpmyadmin (in phpmyadmin from my provider I have to provide the database name plus the user and password to login.
