Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.- Now you are at one of the most important step of Drupal installation.
- Do you remember, I told you to note down database name which we created in Step 7?
- On this page you will see 4 (four) different fields related to database. Lets go through them one by one:
- 1. Database Type: Select first option i.e. MySQL, MariaDB or equivalent
- 2. Database Name: In this example it's 'dbpractice'.
- 3. Database Username: I mentioned 'root' because mostly MySQL database accepts this username. It also signifies that you are the root user of this database. Also quite easy to remember (Isn't it?).
- 4. Database Password: Not a mandatory field so you can leave it blank if you want. But if you mention any password in this field then keep a record of it because if you forget this password then you cannot access your database.
- Click on 'Save and Continue' button.

Error message
For those who get an error message after pressing "Save and continue" on this step, here is a hint:
Edit ...\sites\default\settings.php and add this line at the end: ini_set('max_execution_time', 100);
I had to redo all process again from step 1, but adding this line when creating settings.php file but It finally worked.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

Require a password to be set as well
I added the line ini_set('max_execution_time', 100); as stated above and still got the error message. It wasn't until I set a password for root that it worked.
