Mysql configuration for forums

[s.pedagno]

Where do I begin...

-I have 2 domains
infallible-files.net <original>
theclubnine.com <added domain>

-The 2 domains have different operating directories
infallible-files.net </htdocs>
theclubnine.com </htdocs/theclubnine

-I tried to install phpbb forums using the easy install using OPs
This did not work b/c I want the forums to be for theclubnine.com and the only option I get using ops is for infallible-files.net

-Next I downloaded phpbb forums from phpbb.com and then uploaded it to my ftp into the working directory for theclubnine.com
This worked fine until I got to the point where I had to configure the forums

Basic Configuration
Default board language: English
Database Type(mysql Version): mysql 4.x/5.x -is this choice correct?

Database Configuration
Database Server Hostname / DSN: default = localhost
Your Database Name: ??
Database Username: ??
Database Password: ??
Prefix for tables in database: default = phpbb_

Admin Configuration
Admin Email Address: i understand this
Domain Name: default = theclubnine.com
Server Port: default = 80
Script path: default = /clubnine//forums/

If someone can please help me with this I'd appreciate it very much, you can use this forums private message system if that would be easier.

Thanks

Database Configuration
Database Server Hostname / DSN: default = localhost this would be your mysql cluster address. mysql19.powweb.com
Your Database Name: ?? your database name for this phpbb
Database Username: ?? your username for said database
Database Password: ?? your password for said username
Prefix for tables in database: default = phpbb_

Admin Configuration
Admin Email Address: i understand this
Domain Name: default = theclubnine.com
Server Port: default = 80
Script path: default = /clubnine//forums/

And that should work... but you're gonna have to let the installer make the db itself since only it knows exactly how to set it up.

That's not correct.

First step is to create the database yourself in Member Ops - you'll define the database name, the login username and the password. The Ops procedure will tell you what server the database is created on (mysql##.powweb.com)

Supply these parameters to the config utility.
