title: Connected a database to MySQL after connecting to Apache Web Server. One problem
body: <p>After finally connecting, I typed 'show databases;' just to confirm that the database I created (on AWS) was connected but it doesn't pop up. Every other video I've watched doesn't seem to point out any step I may have missed. It only shows the 4 databases which I'm assuming were already there. Apologies if I'm not phrasing this question very clearly. Still a rookie self learning.</p>
  <p>For some context, I'm on Windows and ssh through Gitbash. Also using a Red Hat instance. Tried to use an Amazon Linux 2 instance but encountered the same problem.</p>
  <p>Here's what it shows:</p>
  <pre><code>mysql&gt; show databases;
  +--------------------+
  | Database           |
  +--------------------+
  | information_schema |
  | mysql              |
  | performance_schema |
  | sys                |
  +--------------------+
  4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Every tutorial I've seen shows '5 rows in set(0.00sec)' with the one extra row being the name of the database created earlier. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
