This doesn't help me very much. I already looked at that, but I am still stuck.

What is the problem you are having??

Could not select the database 'localhost'. Are you sure it exists and the specified username and password have access to it?

That is the problem.

You need to add your database name, username and password. No need to touch any thing there except selecting MySQL from Database type drop down menu.

Who is your host?? They might have specified a specific MySQL server location that you need to use instead of localhost.

Still, what do I type in? Specifically. What username, password and especially what DATABASE NAME?

Well, I am using WampServer 2.1.
Then I followed the instructions and got to the installation page. That is all.

One second. Let me try something.

Did you created any database from CPanel ?

How do I do that? I tried, but I don't understand all of the little forms to it.
