A good front-end for MySQL administration is phpmyadmin. As root throught SSH:
Code:
aptitude install phpmyadmin
Then go to articlessnap.com/phpmyadmin and login with your MySQL root user and the password you setup(not SSH root password)
When you are there, got to one of the upper tabs and click on Privileges and look for "Add new user". Fill username, localhost, password and again password. Select to create a database with the same name... it's 2nd option.
Now go to articlessnap.com and start installation.
