Hi, I'm trying to install SMF, but everytime I try to I get this:


The installer was unable to access the "smf" database. With some hosts, you have to create the database in your administration panel before SMF can use it. Some also add prefixes - like your username - to your database names.


What should I do? Because I'm inputting all my information correctly. >_<
