Starting a DB in mysql

[shanenewbe]

Hi, i have worked with DB before but not with mysql and not on this level.

i need to create a DB for a forum i have downloaded, but where to start?

Hi all,

I am using apache2triad php,mysql and am hosting my own website. I am hoping to start a forum and have downloaded one from phpbb. But I have to create a DB before I can install the forum.

Can anyone give some advise on where to start.

Many thanks

Shane
