phpbb

Has anyone used phpbb ...
I trying to set it up the install.php ask for my sql name other question do I need it from the ISP

[revolution]

ive ran it...its asking for your MySQL user access, usually something like this in the config.php

DBhost 'localhost'
DBuname 'you sql username'
DB 'your sql database'
DBpass 'your sql password'


DBhost is the SQL host your connecting to perform the phpbb queries

DBuname is your SQL username access

DB is the actuall database your using to hold the sql info

DBpass is your password for your DNuname access to SQL

i'm trying to run the same forum,
and on a normal host i don't have any problems with it.
But on my own host i have the same problem, user, password etc...
where can i config those in mysql?
how to make a new user and password?

I found the reason I could not get phpBB up was the name of sql . That could be part of the problem also if you forgot to change the setting on the files.
