Because this leaves your installation of MySQL insecure, in order to improve the security of your MySQL server, we recommend that you run the &#8216;<strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong>&#8216; script by typing the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>This script will help you to perform important security tasks like setting up a root password, disable remote root login, remove anonymous users, etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Create-a-Database-for-Joomla\"><\/span>3.
