Phpbb3/database question

[imthe1onurmom]

I'm trying to set up a phpbb3 forum to go along with my site and I'm not sure what to do when it comes to databases under setup...anyone familiar with this???? I have a DB set up under my x10 account...will phpbb work in an x10 site??

P.S. not sure if this is the right place to post....


EDIT...
my database under x10 is
database name: imthe1_forum
username: imthe1_user1






the things I need are

• 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.

what i Believe i'm doing wrong is not providing the full path... can anyone help me create the paths


for example...under username does the DB name need to come first....like imthe1_forums_imthe1_user1?????



also what is the Database server hostname or DSN
would that be my domain....mydomain.exofire.net???????




Please reply

leave the drop down list as it is.
leave the first 3 boxes empty:
database or dns = empty
port box = empty
database name = empty........

fill in:
put your database user name
put your user database password
click ok/go/next/ whatever that it is.
