how can i create mysql database,i don't know about it! I want to host it in my host

If you have a cpanel you should be able to. Unless, your host doesn't support it / your package doesn't include it.

Just go to your cpanel and follow these:

Adding DB: http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cpanel/Creating...L_databases.htm

Adding user: http://www.cpanel.ne..._MySQL_user.htm

If you don't know if you do, ask your host about it.

Another thing you can do (if your host supplies it) it use Fantastico. It installs a phpBB forum onto your cPanel as well as setting up all the MySQL Databases automatically...

That's what I did on my website. The rest, such as installing new templates and stuff comes with practice and use...

I associate with your concerns as at one point of time was grappling with this issue.
If you have not yet done so, and If you like I can help in your installation absolutely free with no riders. I hate this free word- but uh it always need to be put at right place

Check out this link for some video tutorials on using fantastico and cpanel. I think they will be very helpful
in teaching you how to install phpBB. I know it was for me.

Cpanel and Web Host Manager
