Re: MySql 4.1 and PHPBB HELP!!!!! First - you will need to create the database in MySQL Admin ( I use PHPMyAdmin for things like this ), then you need to create a user name and password in mysql and then give permissions to the database with this user.
After you complete the above steps, then you can go into the PHPBB install and make sure you use the same database name created above with the user name and password created for that database.
Then complete the PHPBB setup, and make sure you follow the last instructions to a T.
