### Create Database
<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu %} -->
You need to manually create a database and a database user prior to starting the web wizard.
You need to manually create a database and a database user in MySQL or PostgreSQL prior to starting the web wizard.
This is due to local security restrictions whereas the web wizard cannot create a database/user through
a local unix domain socket.
#### Set up a MySQL database:
```bash
MariaDB [mysql]> CREATE DATABASE icingaweb2;
MariaDB [mysql]> GRANT ALL ON icingaweb2.* TO icingaweb2@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'CHANGEME';
```
You may also create a separate administrative account with all privileges instead.
#### Set up a PostgreSQL database:
```bash
cd /tmp
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE ROLE icingaweb2 WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'CHANGEME'"
sudo -u postgres createdb -O icingaweb2 -E UTF8 icingaweb2
```
!!! note
This is only required if you are using a local database as authentication type.
It is assumed here that your locale is set to utf-8, you may run into problems otherwise.
Locate your `pg_hba.conf` configuration file and add the icingaweb2 user with `md5` as authentication
method and restart the postgresql server. Common locations for `pg_hba.conf` are either
`/etc/postgresql/*/main/pg_hba.conf` or `/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf`.
```bash
# icingaweb2
local icingaweb2 icingaweb2 md5
host icingaweb2 icingaweb2 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host icingaweb2 icingaweb2 ::1/128 md5
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident
```
!!! note
You may also create a separate administrative account with all privileges instead.
