question about mysql

Ae the DB Host & DB Name the same? Cause usually there are only 3 fields. DB Name, DB User, DB Pw

Also:

If your database resides on the same box as your web server, which is usually the case for 99% of users, then you can use "localhost" (without the quotes) as the name of your database server.

the installation.txt didn't say that i have to create the database first. it's just say  Decompress the .zip archive to a local directory on your system and FTP all . . .

where could i get the doc to create the database?

Hey gurl,

if you are hosting your website on a hosting comapny they should provide you with a link to your site control panel , there you will find the tool to create the database.

or you can ask you domain admin to create a database for you.

Someone Might Have !!!

Hayee gurl,

Someone might have the solution for you if could just explain a little bit more.

Seeing you other post it's very unclear of what your system is.

hey tanvir_bd,
Thanks for being patience w/ my question. If i did not explain it clear, I'm sorry. i might as well give the url to my site.

http://gurl.myhost24.com/gallery

Right after I run & filled out all the info in the install.php, i got that error. No matter what page I access the gallery, I got the same error.
