Well, I set up Invision (http://www.invisionboard.com) with no problems. I don't know where my DB is either but all I needed was the username, password, hostname and database name. I don't have MySQL set up on my PowWeb site, but I would imagine they gave you this info when you had MySQL set up. This is an option, not a standard feature, so if you're not set up for MySQL and don't want to pay for it, try Ikonboard (http://www.ikonboard.com). It doesn't need MySQL.
