is there a how-to on installation, or do i have to stop each time i encounter something and do a search in the forum? i’d like to know, for example, what database to use (for starters). a step-by-step would be a big help.

thanks.

You need to create a MySQL database, and then set that in the bb-config file, under MySQL settings. It will need to know the username for your database too.

If you’re unclear about setting up a MySQL database on your server, you might need to get bbpress installed for you…
