And Im stuck at the same part I was stuck at when installing a phpbb board lol.

I uploaded it all, got to install page and made it to step 3. Now it's asking for my MSQL connection.

Just wondering how I might put these stats correctly

My sites name is hiphopwontstop.99k.org
My databse is hiphopwontstop.99k.org.hiphopwontstop
My databse username is hiphopwontstop.99k.org.username

I tried entering them in many ways, couldnt get it.

Im also not sure for the "host" part if I should leave it at "localhost" or put something like "host.symic.com"

And last, it says "admin username, admin password'.. Im not to sure if this means create it, or I should have an existing one?

Ahh, ino its all gibberish but any help will be appcreciated!

Hi,

Site name is correct.

Database username / password is incorrect. In your hosting control panel click "MySQL Databases". On that page create a database called "phpbb" and click submit. Then create a username called "phpbb" and enter in your desired password and submit. Then at the bottom of the page assign the user to the database.

Then on your install page put:
Database name: hiphopwontstop_99k_org_phpbb
Username: hiphopwontstop_99k_org_phpbb
Password: the password you chose.

Host is always localhost.

Admin user/pass is the password you wish to use, make this up yourself.

Alright Jack thx alot for the info, I followed it and got past my problem, but right when I clicked submit it went to a page and said "Cannot write to file please set permissions to 777Success"

Ino I have to go into ftp and change this some how.. but what file? Installfile?

EDIT:

Also when I pass that error message to the next step I get another saying..

"

It should say what file, or try find out in the readme. When you find out, right click it and select permissions/chmod and type in 777.
