New mysql database

I would like to start a fresh install without the sample data included (seven-cog-hooks) but I can’t seem to get it to work. From what I’ve read, I should remove the sevencogs-hook folder from $LIFERAY_HOME/webapps and create another database. This is the command I used to drop/create the db:
drop database bitnami_liferay;
create database bitnami_liferay character set utf8;

This is what my portal.ext-properties file looks like:

jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bitnami_liferay?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=bitnami
jdbc.default.password=69bd111d02
schema.run.enabled=true
schema.run.minimal=true

Thanks,

Try the following into the MySQL database:

mysql> drop database bitnami_liferay;
mysql> create database bitnami_liferay character set utf8;
mysql> grant all privileges on bitnami_liferay.* to ’bitnami’@’localhost’ identified by ‘69bd111d02’;
mysql> flush privileges;

Then restart the servers. I hope it helps.
