[Fr33z4r]

I am trying to install PhpBB2 on my website, i have everything uploaded to the right directiories. And when I get to the page where i install the forums, like I don't understand what I'm supposed to type.

Database Server Hostname / DSN: (I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS)
Your Database Name: (I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS)
Database Username: I know this is where u put your cPanel login
Database Password: You put your cPanel Password

----
I just need to know what I put in for the Database server hostname, and the "Your Database name"

Database server: localhost
Database name -> Create a database in cPanel
Database username -> Create a MySQL user in cPanel
Database password -> Create a MySQL user in cPanel

Hostname: localhost
Database Name: The name of the database you created in cpanel, remember it is cpanelname_databasename
Database User: Different from your cpanel login. Once again you create it in the mysql section of cpanel, and will be in the format of cpanelname_databaseuser
Database Password: Just like above, the password you create in cpanel.

In the cpanel mysql section, remember to assign the user you create to that database, or else it won't work.

Hope this helped.
