then enable the Joomla website and restart apache web-server with following commands:

# sudo a2ensite joomla
# sudo service apache2 restart

Next, Log in to mysql server as root user

# mysql -u root -p

Create database for joomla with command below,in case we’ll create database with name “dbjoomla”

# CREATE DATABASE dbjoomla;

Create a new user of username joomlauser, with following command below:

# CREATE USER joomlauser;

Create password “joomlapwd” for user “joomlauser”;

# SET PASSWORD FOR joomlauser = PASSWORD("admin123$");

Grant user joomlauser all permissions on the database.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbjoomla.* TO joomlauser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'admin123$';

Reload the settings for Mysql
