I have PHP installed, as well as MS Access XP.
When I try to install PHPBB 2 I select the MS Access option.
I don't know what to type in the DSN field and the database username and password.
As far as I know, I only installed MS Access and that's it. They didn't ask me to specify a username and password, nor did they tell me what the MS Access DSN was :cry:

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database


If I leave those fields empty I get those errors, and I don't know what to do. Is it necessary for me to do anything in MS Access (like create a database, which I don't know how to... :cry: )

Thank you

Information about installing MS Access in PhpBB is available at http://www.phpbb.com/guide/phpBB_Users_Guide.html#section2_2 . To summarize, you should unzip a .mdb file provided in PhpBB installation package and your DSN is that file's path+name.
