#### Preparing Web Setup on Debian <a id="preparing-web-setup-from-package-debian"></a>
On Debian, you need to manually create a database and a database user 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.
```
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.
> Note: This is only required if you are using a local database as authentication type.

`/icingaweb2/setup`.
Note for Debian: Use the same database, user and password details created above when asked.
