Local linux server, set up DB help

[woppa30]

This is such a lame question but I have been banging my head against a brick wall for ages trying with Google to figure it out.
I "admin" a linux server on our LAN at work, we want to set up a coppermine gallery for all the company photos which will be for internal use only.
I have full root privilages via ssh shells as well as VNC access.
I have placed the coppermine folder into var/www/html and CHMOD'ed the images and include folders to 777.
The next step of the installation is database. Im stuck and I haven't got a clue. How do I create a database for coppermine.
Apache is running and working fine.
As I said I have full root access and VNC access. I can install programs via yum if they are missing (I have checked, I have mysql and php...)
Running on Centos if that makes a difference.
Can anybody help a n00b??
Thanks in advance,
Woppa

If you have mySQL running, use the mysql console commands to create a database and a database user. Then assign database permissions to that user. You could do that as well using a UI like MySQL Adminsitrator. However, this is related to server setup and not coppermine setup. Your question is beyond the scope of this board - we expect the minimum requirements to be met. I find it hard to believe that you haven't been able to find an answer googling for this issue. Best reference is the mySQL manual in your case.
