Need help setting up database

[Jordan C]

Hi, I need a fully working database to get my forum going with phpBB3. Can someone please help set it up, the forum install files are at this address http://main.simplenerdtalk.x10hosting.com/forum .

I'm sure you need the C-Panel address, user name and password so ask me and I'll PM those to you.

I think the problem is in the host name if thats any help.

The host name will be 'localhost' (Without the quotes)

You will need to create a database and a database user using cPanel first.

1. Login to your cPanel, and click on 'MySQL Databases'.
2. Then under 'Create New Database' type the name for the database you want to create, and click 'Create Database'
3. Once that is done, go back to that page, but this time scroll down to the 'MySQL Users' section and create a user.
4. Once that is done, go back to that page, and scroll all the way to the bottom, to the section called 'Add User To Database'. In the drop-down boxes select your database and your database user, then click 'Add'. On the next page tick the box marked 'All Privileges' an then click 'Make Changes'
5. That is the database set-up

Now you can fill in the information in the installer and get your Forums set-up.

Hope this helps. If you have any more questions just ask.
