trying to install phpBB3, stuck at database isntallation

[EAGarcia]

when installing phpBB3, i come accros the database connection. it says i need to ask the hosting provider fro the following info:

The Database Type - the database you will be using. (using mySQL)
The Database server hostname or DSN - the address of the database server. (dunno waht this is)
The Database server port - the port of the database server (most of the time this is not needed). (dunno either)
The Database name - the name of the database on the server. (do i create it or you guys have one?)
The Database username and Database password - the login data to access the database (dunno if this is for me or some other password you guys have)


Thanks! =)

Type : MySQL
Server : localhost

The rest you need to setup yourself. You can do this in the MySQL wizard. You will set up the database name, username and password.
