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.ne...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

Since this topic appears to be solved, and should've been asked at phpbb.com, i'm closing this, if any further discussion is needed, ask at phpbb.com or open a new thread.
