Database type: mysql

Database server hostname: mysql

Database server port: (just leave it alone)

Database name: (The name of the database you create. Click Here (http://account.ulmb.com/mysql/) to go make a database. Remember to save the information so you can fill in the rest.)

Database password: (When you make a database you give it a password. Put that password in here.)

Prefix for tables in database: (You don't have to do anything here, but if you're going to add more things to one database, it's best to give them a unique table prefix so you know which ones they are. You can place something like phpBB3_ there. :))
