Could you use spaces after comma's please? lol
I think the database name is for your MySQL account. So you put in the username and password if it asks for it. |

I really don't know. Sorry. I have one because my host made one for me, but I don't really use it. I think it's for storing information.
Moved to Programming (I wasn't sure if this belonged in Technology, so please move it if it does). |

PHPbb DOES need a mysql database for it to work properly. if you have your own domain, you need to log into your cpanel, and go to the proper link to create the database (as well as username and password for the db). If you are hosted at a domain, ask your host to provide you with the datebase. If you're on a free server, chances are you don't have php support. |
