3. Create a new user and password for myTinyTodo to use when connecting to the database, for example mytinytodouser with password password123:

   CREATE USER 'mytinytodouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123';
   

4. Grant the user all privileges on the myTinyTodo database:

   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mytinytododb.* to 'mytinytodouser'@'localhost';
   

5. Flush the privileges to ensure the changes take effect:

   $dbuser = 'mytinytodouser';
   $dbpass = 'password123';
   $dbname = 'mytinytododb';
   

4. Save the config.inc.php file.

Step 4: Configure Apache
