Database wtf?

[Cosmo]

Each time a try uploading a php program and installing it. it ask for datebase
what do they meen by that?

example programs: phpbb and aardvark top sites

You need a MySQL database.

 

[Cosmo]

i have one but i dont know what to write in the text area am i supposed to find out the name of my database? if so how?

 

[Brandon]

Do you have cpanel access?

 

[Cosmo]

yes i do

 

[Mr.X]

Ok, take a example of phpbb here.

Go to 'My SQL databases' from your hosting cpanel, there you create a sql database, then a user for that database & then assign that database with all authorities. You should be able to do all this from 'My SQL databases' section of your hosting cpanel.

Now run the setup of phpbb, there when it ask for database info, simple fill in the database name, username & password of the database you created before & continue with the installation of the script

btw, if you use cpanel, you can install phpbb from 'fantastico' It will autoconfigue all database stuff for you with just one click

Best of luck buddy

Try this:
1) LOGIN TO CPANEL
2) FIND THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "SCRIPTS LIBRARY"
3) CLICK THAT BUTTON
4) ON THAT PAGE, FIND AND CLICK "PHPBB"
and follow the on-screen directions

For your username and database name:

cpanellogin_username
cpanellogin_database

Password is typed as-is.

(add your cPanel login to the front of the username and database name)

 

[Cosmo]

Could not connect to the SQL database. Please go back and check your SQL settings.

 

[Mr.X]

Just click Give all privilege by choosing the recenty added database name and username. Spiralfive is right, see if your user name to cpanel is 'shrek' then database name will be 'shrek_database' & 'shrek_dbusername' hope it'll help
