Did you ever create the database? Most users forget to create the database first. All you have to do is go to your web control panel and create a database then in the install page enter the databases name, username, password. The install script will not create the database but will instead populate an emtpy database with the info.

I think that the database is created, but you just chose update mode instead of fresh install..

Ya I had created a blank database and uploaded it. It's MS Access... i know it's not the best but it's all i have to work with at the moment.

I'll try the update mode and let you know.

Sounds like your hosted on a windows machine and your using access. Since I have no experence with either I cant help beyond making sure the DB is working on the server.

what do you mean you uploaded the database. your host will supply you with a database as part of your hosting package. you have to get the username/password (if available) from your host and then enter it into the install page for phpBB.
who is your host? do they offer databases, php, etc. you need all this at the host for phpBB to work.

luck,
robert
