Hi, im a very big noob to this and this is my first time trying to install this stuff. How do i find our whats my "databasename" ??

You will be required to make a database first.

You will require these things firstly:

Then follow this:

Hope that helps.

Well then using MySQL you will have to make a database and password, and then put that information into the MyBB install.

Your MySQL program should have a help file, or online help documents if you need it.

Sorry for misunderstanding your first post.

For the most part, all database related setup is done in your Host's Control Panel. If you require more help with setting it up, I recommend you contact your host. They will be able to give you exact instructions or provide you with some kind of tutorial.
