Installing PHPbb - db Name/user/pw

« on: July 31, 2003, 05:19:00 PM »

I'm tinkering around with adding PHPbb (www.PHPbb.com) to my website running on ESmith 5.6. The installation program asks for:

Database type: I've set this to MySQL 3.x

but I'm stumped by the following:

Your Database Name
Database Username
Database Password

Would I have to create a database first? Can I do this via the server manager?

TIA

Cheers, it worked a treat.

One minor problem I have is that phpBB reports the time as GMT (9:00am), when the SME server is on BST (i.e. 10:00am, one hour ahead).
