Hi there. Basically my problem is that I get an error message and can't progress through the wizard installation. I am trying to install Joomla's forum by the way. I thought I would ask here first since you all have always been great help to me in the past.

I do have access to the cPanel so first I created the MySQL database & user/pw. I'm assuming in theory I would just have to plug that information into the Wizard. After continuing I get the error message. The only thing I could think of is where it says:

" Some hosts allow only a certain DB name per account. If this is the case use the table prefix option in the following Advanced Parameters section to distinguish more than one Joomla! site."

My particular host automatically puts my account name first followed by an _ and then the names I chose. Do I have to some how incorperate that with the table prefix? I've posted 3 screen shots below to see the steps I used and what's happened. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
