Database unknown

Gaboot:
Hi everyone !

Right now i have successfully extract and upload the stuff on my ftp. But i experencing some issues with database.

The wiki told me to create a database and a database user. What am i supposed to do exactly?

I have reached PhPmyadmin through the control panel of my host "manage my mySQL databse", but when i want to create a table it is asking me a lot of stuff that were not specified in the wiki.

Bigguy:
Do you have cpanel ? You should be able to make a database through that. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience on other control panels.

Colin:
It looks like you already made the database. Just give SMF the database account info and SMF will do all the table creation and structuring. I think the OP is going in and trying to manually create the tables which is unnecessary.

Bigguy:
He could take the sql file and upload that through phpmyadmin but would still have to give database info to SMF for it to connect, but your right it is unnecessary. :)

Colin:
True, but for a new forum installation why not let SMF handle it :).
