Hi there, I've got all the PHP files in my site, but when I go to install it looks like this:
but it's supposed to look like this:
The tutorial says "Be sure you have activated PHP and MySQL for your account."
Do I? How do I check/enable this?
Also, the tutorial says, in the install page, to select a database type and theres these options:
MySQL 3.x
MySQL 4.x
PostgreSQL 7.x
MS SQL Server 7/2000
MS Access [ ODBC ]
MS SQL Server [ ODBC ]
It says if I don't know I should contact Administrator or webhost.
It then will ask me to enter the database information and to ask admin or webhost if im not sure. Heres a screenie of what the page looks like:
If anyone could please help me that would be great :)

Ok thanks, so far so good, however I can't install.
Heres what the form looks like:
When I click install this happeneds:
And yes, I did create a database called mgspdb
I tried changing the script path to /alexn/mgsproject/ but still no luck.

You need to enter mysql5.freepgs.com as the host name.

You need to use either of those hostnames not fpgs.lvcs.net.

Remember, when entering connection details for newly created databases, you must use "mysql5.freepgs.com" or "mysql5.lvcs.net" as the DB Hostname field of your script.

Nope, still no luck :( Perhaps I need to adjust my PHP settings?
I wonder why it keeps saying fpgs.lvcs.net....

OMG, your not gonna believe this. This whole time I was entering the wrong password ::)
Its because my password is so long I have to copy and paste and a character gets chopped off. Sorry about that.
It works now, thanks for that.
