You have created the database name (using phpMyAdmin probably), haven't you? You must do this before running the phpBB install routine.
Other than that, make sure you are typing the correct info into the phpBB install form.
It's as simple as that.
Oh... and if you're using php5, well... it's a tricksy thing to use with phpBB. I would check at phpBB.com for any hints/tips.

cin.get();

Mysql 4.1 is not compliant with php4 if you are using these together you will need to configure mysql4.1 to use "Old Style Passwords" you will find the solution to this problem at the phpbb (help forum) |

Sorry if this takes some time to get registered on this forum, but it is done that way to reduce spam and to try to keep spammers/banned users away. _________________ Support Team
