hey

well in the
host: usually local host unless your hosting company specify any.
username: is the authorized user to access the db
password : the pass for that user.
database name: is the name of the database you have created and the one that the above mentioned user can access.
table prefix: is a prefix of your own choise. so table will be have a prefix upon what u enter here (urprefix_users for example )

regards
thanks Smile
for database name i typed in "DJKAL" and my password for the pass box, but it didnt work,
for database name i put "2347 atc forums" (also tried: 2347, atc and forums - none worked)
i can remember that it is supposed to be local host so i left that
still it doesnt work though
well we can't help , because you should know the database settings you made:/ maybe you can double check all, or start from 0 with a new db

regards
i think i am gong from start, im installing it now Confused
You should have already created your MySQL database (via phpMyAdmin or cPanel). Check what your database name is, and your user/pass from your webhost, or cPanel, or phpMyAdmin.
ooohh...
the username and passwrod for my server access?

Access to your MySQL server (sometimes it's same as your FTP, but most of the time it isn't - check with your webhost, cPanel if you're not sure)
it isn't the same as my ftp (just tried)
i'll have to wait til my host comes online next! Sad
thanks
