Go to cPanel > Databases

Go through the database wizard which should be displayed under the section "Databases" that's if you use cPanel that is. It should be the same for any other panel, all panel's should have a database wizard which will go through the whole process with you.

What do i type in for "<database-name>". This is really confusing

Btw Im using vistapanel from phpzilla.net

Well, once you've created your database in vista panel, you put the name of it into the installer form....

When your creating a database? The name can be anything you want the same too the password.

And when you run the install, you just type the details into there. Then it should be readable.

By the way, it's usually vistapanelloginname_yourdatabasename when you insert it into the install script, just to make sure you aware.

You've done it the wrong way, lol.
You need to swap Database Username & Database Name around and then it should work.

ok thanks
