Can you tell us what version of mysql you are using?
perfora.net Was it you that I helped or someone else with that host? They are using mysql 4.0 which is currently having bug being fixed for next release. Search bug reports for a solution.
Just install MySQL 5.0
There is an option to install MySQL5.0 in the 1and1 administration panel.

In install/index.php, find:
$db->error_reporting = 0;
Replace 0 with 1 and rerun installer.
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:
1193 - Unknown system variable 'NAMES'
Query:
SET NAMES 'utf8'
blub
In your inc/config.php find
$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8';
and replace it with
// $config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8';
Alternatively, ask your host to upgrade you to MySQL 5.1
my config.php is empty
i only found the following one in the install/index.php
$db_encoding = "// \$config['database']['encoding'] = '{$config['encoding']}';";
but it doesn't work.
ps: MySQL client version: 5.0.27
It's empty because it hasn't been installed I guess. Put this code in:
<?php

$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

Edit database details as needed as well as the fix Ryan mentioned.
