Thank you for the feedback.. i am not trying to install on a free web host. im using blue host and installing it from their mojo market place.

i initially installed mybb and it came on but i deleted it and tried to install it and that was when i started getting the error message.

any kind sugestions please
have you also dropped (removed) earlier database of MyBB ?
if you PM me temporary access to your web host panel then I can check it
Sounds like you just need to create the database in your control panel first?
@ .m. 
i have deleted all the previous data base but  that didnt seem to work

Please how do i create a data base as per you suggestion.nI really appreciate your feedbacks
Do you have cPanel or some other sort of control panel? Somewhere in there there should be a section to manage databases.

yes i do.. i have gone there and created data base i just labelled it mybb

i dont know what to do with it and how to use it for my installation
please see MyBB installation guidance (this manual type installation is preferred)
unforunately..im not a pro so i cant install manually.. ive tried but  just cant find my way around it
