Gallery2 installation...help

[macthinkdifferent]

I am trying to install Gallery2 using Fantastico. The problem that I am having, however, is that I can't connect to the MySQL DB that it sets up. Under the installer, I have:

Database Type: MySQL (all types)
DB Hostname: localhost
DB Username: (the one given to me in the email after installing on Fantastico)
DB Password: (I wasn't given one)
DB Name: (identical to the username)
Table Prefix: g2_
Column Prefix: g_

I have no idea what I am doing wrong and it is really frustrating.

you have to set up the username and password for that specific database name in the Bluehost CPanel (click on MySQL databases).

Uh not if you are going through Fantastico ... it should create the database for you. Personally I've never had good results with Fantastico and strongly recommend just folloing the manual installation procedure. It's really pretty simple :)
