Hi!

I have a MyBB forum but I want to install a new forum.
But when I complete information in database part I see an error message.

I create a database with this title "gigfa_6263784_community"
What is database password? (I write my host password but show error message.)

It have Database username and name . what's difference?

and it have a part with this title: table prefix (how to comlete it)
You'll have to ask your host. We don't know how your database server is setup.
database password is the one while creating the user for this database. Smile

In my host when I want to create a database I should write a name and so press "Create"
I did not any password!!
Jondan, when you are going to create a database for your forum, you would have to follow the following points;

1. Login to your CPanel
2. Go to Database > phpmyadmin > and Click "Create Databse".
3. Enter name of your database like: yaldaram
4. Your newly created database would be something like this: yourhostname_yaldaram
5. Now Go back, and Click on "Create a User".
6. You need to enter username and password.
7. After creating a user, Now go back and Click "Privileges" (or something like that).
8. You need to add Privileges for the newly created database.
9. Click "All" and Hit "Go".
10. Finally you'll have a database with all the things setup successfully.

Now the password (appeared in red above) is the password used while "Installing" the forum. Smile
we can lock this
