Why don't you have fantastico install PHPBB?

[redsox9]

Just doing the phpbb installation and I am having problems with my mysql settings. I am using Bluehost as my hosting company. Its asking for the follwing info

Database server hostname or DSN:
Database server port:
Database name:
Database username:
Database password:

Anyone know how I get these?

Thanks in advance

You need to create a MySQL database through cPanel and then give that information there. To install the database, you need to go to cPanel and click on MySQL Databases or MySQL Database Wizard under the Databases window.

Hostname should be "localhost." Database name will be the name that you associated with the database (eg. domain_phpbb). Username and password will be what you select.

Check with the installation manual that should come with the software. It explains it there.

The ticket system is overwhelmed so chances are that its been lost in the shuffle. Better to use the LiveChat feature on the BH home page.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

I think most things are sorted. Just one last thing. Where will I find my

Database server port:

Is that info on the control panel?

Try 2082 - otherwise I'm not sure.

The default mysql port is 3306, and shouldn't even be required by a script.
