PHPBB3 Data Base installation

[buzz_pr32]

Hi:

I'm trying to install phpBB3 and request this info...

In order to proceed, you will need your database settings. If you do not know your database settings, please contact your host and ask for them. You will not be able to continue without them. You need:

• The Database Type - the database you will be using.
• The Database server hostname or DSN - the address of the database server.
• The Database server port - the port of the database server (most of the time this is not needed).
• The Database name - the name of the database on the server.
• The Database username and Database password - the login data to access the database.

please help me; I didn't find it on the knowledge base (if it exists please redirect me)

thanks...
